    Zebra herds are gathering in the dry Boteti riverbed for the night.

    I do not often do B&W conversions, but sometimes it just works so much better than color, as was the case here.

    I like the b&w conversion. Love the quality of light here. I would be tempted to crop off a little off the bottom, as my eyes drift away from the subjects and down to the vegetation in the foreground. Very cool image, though. I love black and white wildlife images!

    B&W a good choice here Vincent. I too agree on the crop suggestion. If you do you will have one bush protruding into the image and that will need to be cloned.

    The B&W seems to work well here.. I agree with the crop, even more of a pano might be very nice. The zebra head sticking into the frame on the right is a bother to me.

    Nice one Vincent. I like the mood. I think a pano will work here.

    Thanks for the comments guys. Robert that bush is exactly why I did not crop more from the bottom, but I am now convinced I should and will try clone it out, thanks.

    Hey Vincent,
    Really nice B&W conversion. Crop & clone will make it perfect. I can feel the dust.
