I'm a fan of single trees. Nice job blending the sun into the image. It would have been nice if the one zebra was not intersecting the tree trunk. The birds add another interest point. I might try dodging the zebras and foreground slightly. Nice image.

Terry, You are quite right. It did not occur to me.
Here is an updated version with the left zebra moved and turned around. Posted: 11/07/2024 20:23:10

Hi Mervyn, I thank that the lovely sunset sky and the golden hour lighting really make the image special. The sky switch is beautifully done. I love the serene feeling of the moment you captured. - I think that moving the zebra was a good idea. Posted: 11/09/2024 19:09:26
The sunset is what makes this image astonishing, and you blended it flawlessly with the original photo. Moving and flipping the zebra in the middle produces a much better picture. Nothing more to add. Posted: 11/09/2024 23:45:47
