2.38 - "Needs Work" 

Captured on a Safari in Kenya back in Nov '18 with the Google Camera port on a Samsung Galaxy S7. That was before I really got into photography.

Having only a 26mm equivalent, there isn't that much wildlife to get big enough in the frame. I was lucky to get this shot, where even the sunrays aren't fake. I only edited the colors and tinted the highlights a little yellow where it clipped. I also cropped the photo to 16:9. The HDR artifacts (especially around the elephant) are coming from the camera app itself

It was taken in the apps RAW-Mode and edited on Snapseed. My phone was connected permanently to a power bank, getting really hot in the hand, as the camera app wasn't optimized to run on this device.
