yes indeed very difficult to spot... nice post processing...not your best shot though...

I wonder how it looks like without the destuartion. I looks good though. Very well-seen.
I think it is because of the similar patterns of the giraffe an dthe background.

Very nice post work - still maybe hard for this guy to hide ;-)

I can imagine that you had a hard time selecting the areas to be desaturated. It blends really well into the background. The desaturated ears look a bit odd though. And overall, the giraffe looks quite rusty ;-) Well done, Yitzhak.

Beautifully done Yitzhak. The colors and camouflage of this giraffe work so well with the desaturated background. Execellent choice. I love the expression on the face that you captured here. All very well done, impressive work. Very, very, nice.

Cool idea born out of desparation for clarity! I would never have thought of this for a giraffe. Mmmm... I wonder what it would have looked like it you had slightly overexposed the background and made it a pale blue tone??? Just kidding. He/She looks kind of surprised, but those soft warm eyes - that is what I really love about the giraffe!

Indeed Yitzhak, this great experiment, maybe light green for background !!! Good idea now.

Mabye not one of your best shots but still quit apealing. I'm not sure if the ears should be desaturated though. Part from that, the compo of the shot is nice.

A great giraffe photo, Yitzhak, and good post-processing too. I like the colours on the giraffe and the tilt of its head. Well seen and captured.

The camouflage is still there, but just a bit--enough for your communication to be effective! I'm not sure I find the painterly effect all that effective, did you apply some kind of filter to this?

Yes - one of natures wonders - the perfect camouflage - Thanks for sharing this knowledge and experiment.
Nice work Yitzhak.
