    A sweet & tender moment Dumay and I like the pose and posture of the two Zebras. I think the central position works well balanced by the tree to the LHS. I might suggest a slight adjustment in Brightness/Exposure, just a fraction, but this then might get away from what seems early morning? Might think about the inclusion of that branch by the legs, looks better without it.

    Love the light, low angle, and moment here Dumay! Good to see you posting .
    I think Steve is onto something on toning down levels slightly to get a bit more out of the whites, but not to the point of them 'greying' out

    Hi Morkel, dropped Dumay a line rather than another repost, so will be interested to hear his thoughts. Seems we are like minded.

    Dumay,

    This is a nice image I like it a lot but feel it could do with slight darkening.

    The simplest method to do this would be to use "selective colours" and just move the neutrals a little to the right. I have deliberately overdone this and it would obviously be down to your taste how you changed it if you choose to do so.

    Dumay - tender moment, well captured and I like the centered, vertical comp here. Good suggestions above.

    TFS,

    Hey mate, good to have the two zebbies in the open, and I like the tender moment captured. Placement works well, and I feel the exposure and colours are just fine.

    Good juxtaposition of the mare and colt (Is that correct terms for a Zebra?).

    I am fine with the original post. Love the juxtaposition of the 2 very much. It is a truly powerful photo in this vertical format.

    Like everyone else, I love the poses, especially of the foal - that's a great, romantic foal picture with the wide stance and slightly open mouth! The mother is the icing on the cake. I'd also like to see adjusted versions and cloned out branch, if you are into that.

    I remember the B/W version of this one. Looks good in color too. Like the visible hint of color in the mum's eye.
