The Zebras

Thank you for your comments and critiques!

Really a perfect capture!

A beautiful capture Gunnar. Your POV, in Camera and Editing skills have brought us a lovely display of these beautiful creatures interacting as we do not often see. Many thanks for sharing, Gail

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Gunnar!

 

reminded me of the initial version containing more context - however, this tigher crop works even better as the two pairs of zebras in similar postures receive more attention. The foreground shadows work well in the case as they are framing the zebras very nicely and the rock is at least to some extent balanced by the trunk of the tree. Only detail I might consider removing are the drops of water (which jump to my eye as I know the other version - for other viewers this may not be an issue).

clever b&w subjects, Gunnar. your choice of light play is strange and beautiful here... bravo  ;-} dp

A lovely little interplay of light, shadow and intersecting stripes. It reminds me of a child's picture puzzle, the kind where you try to pick out the animals hidden in the foliage. Delightful.

:) Fantastic play of light, lines and shades :).
