Hi Ken Like the conversion very much has a good feel Can't think of a better image for it other than picking an ele !!! ... might increase contrast a bit? .. not on a calibrated monitor right now !!

[Rachel Hollander]

Ken - like it a lot. I agree with Al that I think it needs a contrast boost (aren't you and Steve usually telling me that on zebra shots?) :)

TFS,

Very nice Ken, the composition and feel of the image is very good.

I agree that it needs some contrast or additional USM to make the stripes stand out a little more.

Thanks for the comments, I am totally new to B& W conversions and really had no idea what I was doing.

I'll give it another go:)

Welcome to the dark side Ken!!
This has good potential, like the comp with the Oxpecker? jockeys, it does need some USM on the Zebra and some light reduction on the top section of BG.
