Super work, Lonnit. (A little bit of Africa in DC. Wonderful!) I like the contrasts between the yellows and the blues. Compliments and regards jnconradie
Unfortunately, this image is suffering severely from the squeeze that was necessary to make it fit within the size limits. In full rez, it is beautifully grained thruoughout. Yes, the building to the left and the front edge were too smooth, so I went in and added grain as necessary by hand. It simply doesn't show up here at all. The orig is soooo much nicer than this, just loaded with grit and character. I'm sure you'd like it so much more.

I like this but I don't think you went far enough with it. It almost looks like a 50's postcard, the elephant especially but I think the background needs a little more of the effect you used on the elephant. Perhaps the yellow is too bright? ~Sharon
