I happened to almost delete this photo while editing, on second look, decided to process it. Tell me if you find this a keeper.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

I would call it a keeper! I love the OOF symmetry. The light is nice too. Only minor nits are the grass on the left side over the zebra, but thats just me being picky. Nice shot!

I don't have any zebra photos, so would be a no brainer for me - keeper. It could be argued that the similar poses, with the animals facing in different directions and one oof is an interesting foil to the more dominant zebra on the left. Personally I would likely crop out the right zebra and do this as vertical for the left one, especially if this is near full frame and you have the pixels. Nice light and good exposure.

Definitely a keeper - fine detail in the left zebra. The slightly OOF one on the right adds interest, imo.
I agree that left blade of grass could go -

It's a keeper in my books! I like having the other zebra in the background oof. Nice eye contact, and beautiful light!

Highly subjective, but given the symmetry of the poses, I think that would call for both to be in the focal plane. I would process as suggested by Gary. The light and detail on the left animal is wonderful.

Sorry, Jagdeep, but this is not a keeper for me. I have been spoilt with lots of zebra images, so I can afford to be picky!

Last year I was in Kenya & Tanzania. As you know everwhere full of Zebras. I took 100s of Zebras photos. But I was always thinking what is the good Zebra pose and composition. So, This the one of the good Zebra pose. It's pity right one not so sharp, but anyway nice Zebra photo. TFS.
