    Default Amboseli Mirage

    I found this one while I was looking for some other cloudy/ weather-related files. I know flip week is over, but I wanted to try a landscape flip. Amboseli National Park in Kenya is known for its dust devils as well as its elephants. In addition to the flip, I added some brush strokes, texture and Topaz simplify. I couldn't decide about cloning or cropping the zebra on the right, but decided to leave him in. All comments welcome.

    Cindy, this is really cool! My eye doesn't know what to make of the "relfection". Seems like it should be water, but that doesn't compute! Really nice job with the flip. I would evict the zebra backside. ;) I feel that, due to the bright b/w nature of it, the eye gets pulled over there.

    Nice work Cindy, I like it, Agree with Kerry about the zebra, but just a minor point. It looks hot!

    Very cool idea, Cindy! The flip adds an rather surreal look to it. I like the composition of elephants and the dust devils in the BG. I would remove the zebra on the right because I find it draws my eye. Nice work. :)
