    Have returned from a long road trip to Etosha,Namibia... will take awhile to process images.. but this one kind of " jumped " out at me..

    The skies in Etosha are strange mix of grey/blue hence the white sky in B&W .. the winds at this time of year blow the white/grey powder that covers the earth everywhere.......makes for wonderful photography... but camping and living in these conditions are not comfortable...

    Hi Peter, this is certainly B/W and i guess rather striking purely because it is almost B/W with not shades. Perhaps this is a 'marmite' image, one you love or not?

    Personally i would like to have seen just a portrait version of just the two fighting as I find the third one moving away slightly distracting, but then it 'tells a story'. Look forward to seeing more, and again, thanks for thinking about a different approach.

    Steve ;)

    Peter, this is very much like an old fashioned tone drop out and very effective using lack of tone for drama. Whilst I agree with Steve that isolating the fighting zebra would have been a strong image, I think this does tell a more interesting story.

    I like it very much and look forward to more.
