Processed this one tonight from the Great Migration safari I hosted last year...I quite liked the 2 butts and 2 faces pose/grouping here. I can't wait to head back up to Kenya in September!

I like the crisp and clean contrast in your black and white processing, making the zebra stand out nicely from their background. Thumbs up!

Nice, Morkel. I like the arrangement as well and your monotone treatment works well.

They set up the pose wonderfully for you Morkel

The fact that they're alternating , along with the B&W processing really makes this a pleasing balance of humour and aesthetic

The pose really sets this one off, Morkel. Hope you got model releases from them
