Processed animal portraits

[tpe]

This has been posted on our homly minolta forum but it would be nice to hear what you guys think too. These were from the zoo today, and you know how it is, there is always some keeper or something putting his oar in. A fair bit of saving was needed. Normally i am not keen on playing in photoshop if i can help it, but because of some chats recently perhaps it isnt so bad (not morally bad, but making the picture cheesy bad). So some of these shots are quite heavily PPed, so in each case is it adding or detracting from the pic, does it stand out too much on any of them, and do they look more or less processed than your average animal shot posted on forums? Or perhaps it is something that should be done as a matter of course?

If any of them dont show up please hit F5
