This is Asha again. She is an African elephant at the Natural Bridge Zoo and I think she recognizes me now. Whenever I visit now, she comes running up toward me and puts on a show.
Shot in RAW. Converted 5 TIFFs at different exposure levels from the same original RAW file and generated an HDR image in Photomatix.
I have been wanting to create an "outside-the-border" 3D finish to a photo ever since I saw that train one (I can't remember who did it, but when I find it, I'll link it). I thought it was so cool.
PP via MS Digital Image Pro included NI, levels/curves, dodge/burn brush, clone brush to remove one small piece of fence post and sidewalk, add border. PP in PS included levels/curves, color, dodge/burn brush, add text, save for Web.

This is so good!!!! I love how the elephant's trunk and ear overlay the border. It gives it such an interesting 3-dimensional look. One of my favorites!
Your border really makes the elephant 3D! IT looks like it's coming after me! The detail in the elephant is very nice also, though it seems a bit out of focus.
