 A good practice in using Quick Selection and Refine Edge in Photoshop. The photo is very silly, much too busy and colorful but then it is what jungle is like after all :) I liked the lemurs at the zoo. They looked like if they were sunbathing in a trance. Hopefully my first venture into Expert Editing does not fall sub 5!

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the lighting is wrong but it was not meant to be realistic :)
Hanging on just above 5

...
Much later:
I am amazed that everyone focused on making a realistic photo! It is bizarre and it was meant to be bizarre! Plain silly!

It's a fun idea, but the lighting is different on everything, so they don't fit together. The pigeon has a shadow going out to the right, but the light on the lion is coming from the opposite direction. The lion has no shadow. The lemurs and the gorilla are very flat. You might have done better sticking with the lion, flipping him so the light was coming from a better direction and adding a shadow. He fits best into the scene. Nicely done on the selections, though.

Very creative! But IMHO, there's a lot going on making it cluttered and awkward. PP could've been better, but I still think you did a prety good job.

Good idea, great skill applied but so crowded and even!

clever idea, the animals look just a little too cut and paste to me to be believable.
