looks like Photoshop, HDR plus some other enhancements.

it seems more semi-hdr. But "photoshop" and "other enhancements" is pretty much a given...

As well as HDR, my guess would be that they mildly colorized the pic. with sepia, matted a premade texture over it to give it the 'old photo' look, and played with the contrast etc.

In short the dude photoshoped the hell out of it but this is a fine example of when photoshopping the hell out of something really does do the image justice.

All it seems to be is an HDR, some color replacements, and an overlaying texture.

This is a composite of at least two photographs. The foreground with the elephant and the background were not shot at the same time. The amimals were shot in a zoo or other inclosed space and the more natural background was put in later. You can see the elephant is eating hay, a man made food.

The photographer is done a very good job of developing a "look" that he has carried through all of his photos. The good news for us is that all of us likely have a zoo nearby. Now that we see what can be done there, lets go shoot r maybe just look at our catalogs and see what we can do with them
