This was my early days of digital phtography, and believe it or not, I wasnt shooting in RAW at all. ( 2007)These two Zebra's were in a playful mood and the colours are natural as shot. Taken in a small nature reserve close to my house.

Congratulations to your younger self on a great shot. The action is a bit central for my tastes, but I also think there is just the right amount of space above and below so not sure you'd want to do anything about that. Light and detail are really lovely and I think the grass over the *** (excuse me!) really adds to the picture somehow.

Excellent image Stuart, I might crop in just a little closer on the bottom and sides to emphasize the interaction here, but that's personal taste.:cool:

Nice interaction and detail Stuart.

Maybe a slightly tighter crop would help but as posted its a very good image.

Hi Stuart,
That was my first "serious" starter kit as well and I resisted RAW for the first couple of years too. Really like the light and colors of this one. Might crop a little off the left (just outside the taller grass clump) and the bottom but not too much. Leaving as is works for me too.
