    lovely high key and high contrast use here Peter
    square-ish crop works well for me here - go figure
    perhaps just a tad more at the bottom??

    Hi Peter,
    first good capture of the fighting zebra, second like the use of high key in combination with the really blacks.Good call on that.
    Nicely processed as the other ones.

    I agree with Morkel , about more room on bottom.

    Hi Peter - agree with Morkel and Andreas that high key and high contrast works well here. So does crop and comp. Nice action too.

    TFS,

    Count me in on the above observations Peter.

    Terrific action captured here, and B&W high key works well.

    Love the drama in the action and the dramatic highkey vivid black/white treatment makes such a strong statement! In lieu of adding more on the bottom, I think taking some off the top and making it even more square would be another suggestion. I quite like square crops when it feels appropriate for the subject. In any case, I like this image so much I couldn't leave it without commenting.

    The High key looks fine, but it is a bit too contrasty for me.
    I think a crop off the top would look nice.

    Nice shot Peter. The positioning of the front legs of these two stand out and make this shot for me.
