    This is my first post here in months! Hopefully my schedule will allow for more frequent visits. I've missed it. This is a combination of two different images from two different reserves in Kenya. I played with this a while ago, so I don't remember all of the steps, but I did use Topaz adjust and a variety of others. Thanks for looking.

    Cindy, You have been missed! I love your creative images and this one is fantastic! I think the BG image really works well here and so does the toning. I also like your careful placement of the background eye. Great looking image.

    Cindy, Wow! I love this and the bg really makes the image. I think elephant eyes and expressions are so human-like so it really adds to the feel. I might crop it a little tighter on the right. (I've really missed your
    creativity)

    Excellent image, Cindy. I love the details, composition, and of course the elephants(my favorite animal)! :) The composite works very well.

    Very nice image and application, Cindy.

    Love the treatment of the BG and the choice of subject. My dream trip is a safari.

    Hi Cindy! Great to see you here again. This is a lovely composite!! I really like your choice of tint, giving it a duotone look and the texture is perfect. Looking forward to having you back!
