Stripes on Thars

What are your thoughts on cloning out the branches that seem to

"attach" to the back end of the zebra? Or, not an issue...leave as

is?

Rick, I would leave it as is. Great photo, congrats!

This image appeals to me in several ways - I like the view from below to the Zebra, the overall "positive" line in it etc. I would leave the branches - a little "imperfection" is even more appealing. The only thing I would like is a little bit more room to the right - giving the Zebra more to look at. But this is just my personal view.

 

Thanks for sharing - Dirk

I do have more room over there to the right to work with. I like the square crop and tried to leave as much room to the right as possible without cropping the tree on the left. I could try more of a 4x5 proportion.

Great shot, converting to B&W works really well. The animal looks powerful, like the king of the herd. I would leave the branches and think the square composition works. The two major elements need each other to make this shot wonderful. well done.

Very nice composition! Congrats.

Wonderful work!!
