I tried to follow MtnMan's advice on editing this picture by toning down the highlights.
I tried adding a vignette to it but I didn't like the result.

It's beside the point, but whenever I see a photo like this it reminds me of Hemingway's short story "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber." You'd have to read it to understand the way my mind works sometimes.

Well done, what tour group did you do with?
We used Overseas Adventure Travel.
Our lodgings were on private game reserves(Sinya, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro) or in Serengeti national park for 12 of the 15 days that we spent actually in Tanzania. We stayed in transient tented encampments most nights but had a few nights in a more permanent site situated on elevated platforms. We were very happy with all of the accommodations and all meals were included. The food was great especially since many meals were prepared in the boonies under less than ideal conditions - basic camp stoves, camp fires, etc.
We went in May at the tail end of rainy season but only had a brief shower on one day as we arrived back at camp in the Serengeti. The camp staff met us at the car park and handed out umbrellas for the 100 meter walk to the dining tent. Most days started out with a heavy overcast but normally by 10:00 am or so the sun broke through. Our driver/guides were exceptional. Not only did they have a great deal of knowledge about the animals but also they could spot leopards and lions in trees at great distances. In the Ngorongoro Crater, our guide identified a black rhino in the distance. To me, it looked about the size of a sesame seed.
Everyone that we met in Tanzania was friendly and aiming to please their guests. This was my wife's first experience "roughing it" unless you consider a Hyatt roughing it. She now wants to do Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia!
Sorry for running on.

This is beautiful, Voyager1, but I'd love to see it next to the original without and pp.
