This is a composite with a landscape shot of the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya that included the giraffe feeding on an acacia tree with two saddlebill storks photographed together in South Africa. I simulated a wide angle lens in that the birds are disproportionately large compared to the background. The original shot of the storks was taken with a 300mm focal length. It's interesting that I photographed the birds at about 5:30pm when the low angled sun was very yellowish. I captured the landscape at around 4pm before it turned golden in color. So, to match the light in the two shots, I desaturated the yellowish tones on the birds in the hue/saturation dialog box. I selected 'yellow' in the submenu and then moved the saturation slider to the left.
