Taken in the Sabi Sands, South Africa:

Unfortunately, the branches are distracting but it was the only way to get the shot. I really wish someone would invent a branch filter:)

Look at the You-tube on the new CS5. It might just do the job. I don't remember what they called it. Some kind of "computer assisted smart fix" however, lets hope they don't call it that.
Nice photo even with the branch,

Thanks all. Certainly not my best from the trip by far but sort of interesting. I love that even from a good distance away the 100-400 picks up the taste buds on the lion's tongue.

I got this of the Fred Miranda site. You might take a look, if you want to go in that direction.
However, it doesn't take away from the fact that you too a good picture,

It is called "content aware". Pretty wild stuff
Another use of it.

Wow, that's pretty amazing but somehow it seems a little like cheating. I generally only process/convert in DPP and rarely do anything in PS. It definitely seems like its coming more and more to good computer skills rather than good traditional photo taking skills to make a great photo.

That is a big yawn no doubt! While the branch is a bit distracting sometimes it's what we're given and it doesn't diminish the impact of the image. :D
