    Love this. The dead center look, eyes and head at the camera. Both ears straight up. Mane on head and neck straight up. All work for great composition.. Bit of grass in mouth is nice interesting detail. Good background for contrasting the zebra. Oh, and the techs look excellent to me.

    ps - I also like your crop.

    Hi Sanjeev - I think this is one of your best images to date in terms of IQ and pp. The comp works very well. Colors, sharpness and detail all look very good. Congrats on this one.

    TFS,

    Hi Sanjeeve, nice look back pose in good light, sharp and has good details. I think you could have gone higher ISO and smaller aperture for more DOF. The nose is just a tad soft I think. I'd try to sharpen it more. TFS. Loi

    Can't argue with comments above, but it's that lovely light that make the rest possible, nicely seen Sanjeev.

    Hi Sanjeev,
    agree about really nice PP work all around with good colors , tones and contrast. Comp works for me and the grass sticking out of the mouth is a nice bonus.
    Looking in the channels , i see blown parts in the red and the green . Resulting in detail less parts of the whites, i think i would back off in the whites to give them more dynamic range.

    Exellent image. I agree that some of the whites on the neck is a little blown.

    Hey Sanjeev this is really good, the timing as Ed mentioned with the light has created a wonderful image. The BKG really makes the subject 'pop', nicely.
