My guess is that the giraffe was eating and those branches look like a natural interaction to me. I do like the crop and added saturations of the reworks.

+1 @ much of the others (Scott, I thought I was reading some of my own writing ).
But, the nuance of Ben's point is one that you might consider with regard to clone removal of the branches. One one hand, the removal reveals / frames the head better, otoh, it changes the story / message of the image. Retaining "just enough" of the "right" branches to keep the story intact might be worth considering.
+100 on what Ben and Kent are saying.
Looking at the edits (mine included) it does look rather artificial. Kent's suggestion at maybe a partial clean-up is a great idea I think.
Bob, you didn't mention it but based on the gear you are shooting with I'm guessing you shot this in raw so you should have no problem nudging things around a little to where you want them. Your OP image is very close as it is, it just needs some small nudges here and there.
