No, that is not the end of the story. The image of God makes us spiritual beings with potential far beyond anything in the animal realm. We can appreciate the glory of a garden, the wonder of a sunset, the potential of a brighter day. According to Scripture, God's first gift to the living human was to surround him with beauty. Now the LORD God had planted a garden . . .
Appreciation leads to another unique quality, the capacity for thanks, for praise, for prayer.
To share His image means to share in His unique ability to love. God is good. God is love. Yet God, as Creator of all, is also Ruler. To share His image implies a share in His ability to govern.
