    Hello Sanjeev,

    I think I know why you went for ISO 100, just checked you settings and saw you had a shutter speed of 1/1250s, so why not go down on ISO? Like your thinking!

    F4 made the zebras pop nicely and the pano crop is great. Subtle use of Nik:) Your persistence with B/W paid off, this is a fine image and I enjoyed viewing- thank you Sanjeev

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Sanjeev i like your twins , a pleasing pano crop combined with a nice solid B/W conversion where the subjects pop nicely from the surrounding . Just wonder if it would be possible to coax out some detail from the eyes without looking odd . At this stage they do look like black holes , i would give it try if this was mine .

    Nice job , Sanjeev .

    TFS Andreas

    Nice composition and conversion here Sanjeev.
    Depending on distance-to-subject, f4 might have been fine (would only be visible on high res), but f5.6 or f8 would be the safe bet here, sacrificing some of that ISO you had to spare .
    I agree with Andreas on the eyes...

    Hi Sanjeev - Nice look at these two and good suggestions by both Andreas and Morkel. I too would have gone for a bit more dof.

    TFS,

    Nice crop on the image, maybe a little more behind them and less in front...only a bit though. I am no expert in B&W images but for my taste i would like to see the surroundings a little lighter and the Zebra a little darker but thats a taste thing. Nice image Sanjeev!
