Cherish life in its diversity

Well, this is extremely good. Very hard to imagine this not taking first place. great concept, great execution. Cute elephant.

If I absolutely had to find something to critique, maybe the murky underwater area looks a bit similar to the sky (cloudy greens and yellows). Perhaps the color could have shifted slightly, or something else to differentiate it.

I'm also surprised to see such a high score here. I would use this as an example of how HDR or shadow/highlight can totally break an image if they are overdone. There is a way to use these dynamic range increasing tools that does not leave such distracting artifacts. Pushing it this far is like turning the radius up way too high in unsharp mask.
