    Single exposure, exposed for the sky and lifted shadows in the FG in processing using grad filters, luminosity masks for the darks and dodging.

    Hi Morkel - great sky and clouds with detail. The zebras are almost unnecessary but I like the foal looking towards you. Only wish for a bit of separation of the nose of the one behind it from the foal.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Morkel, lovely colors, peaceful scene. I like the cloud here. May be a little more space on the right if you have it. Loi

    Hi Morkel agree with the others the zebras are just there ........ but not very important .
    Love the sky and the clouds . I would think about reducing the blue/cyan in the FG and zebras.
