    Canon 5DM3, Canon f5.6 400mm@6.3, 1/1250s, ISO 640, HH. PP: Bridge/CC. I enhanced to contrast in the shades of gray of the late afternoon light on the group by a strong vignette.

    It is a nice shoot. Have you tried to convert in b/n ?

    Hi Giovanni,

    Yes, I did try desaturating it, but preferred the three tone look (B, W & Green). Maybe I should give NIK a try.

    Very nice image Douglas, I like the clean FG and the green BG and the zebras all in a row. Well done. I think NIK should do a good job of B&W conversion.

    A very interesting shot and one I like a lot with the way the zebras are lined up in the sunlight against the darker BG. In an ideal world then the one zebra in the middle would be facing our way as well, as the interactions between the others is brilliant, but I fully appreciate that was not within your control.

    Overall a very good pleasing shot

    Lovely image, Doug. Would love to see what this looks like in mono.

    I also went for this look & feel but didn't get as nice a pose/grouping of the zebras as you did, Douglas. I like it "tri-tone" as posted, but here's a quick workup in Silver Efex (NIK) as well for your consideration...
