    • Some lovely shots Lezindie 🙂

    • Thank you for sharing Lezindie, lovely shots especially the black and white conversions. Just be careful with the ISO as there is quite a bit of digital noise on some of them. Well done!

    I am not a big wildlife photographer like Bruna, whose work I absolutely love but when you get given an oppurtunity do not let it pass. This is a bit of ICM to create this effect

    • Thank you for posting Luke. Nice to see that you are exploring slow shutter speed for an creative look and feel. Just remember, the background plays a huge roll in creative blur. Next time , try a lower angle to eliminate the background and fill your frame with the Zebra’s instead. Don’t stop trying as it is very rewarding when you get it perfect.

    The anatomy of the picture is always more important than the anatomy of the subject.

    • Nice shot Hennie! Ample detail, good exposure and the composition spot-on. Love the action. Just a suggestion; Darken the branch in the background and lighten the one in the front to keep focus on your subjects. Beautiful catch light in the eyes!

    • Well done, Hennie. Your image is sharp, and you handled the exposure perfectly. You have captured the mood and drama for impact. You mentioned that you had cropped the picture; consider leaving a little more space at the bottom of your frame, as it feels slightly tight and crop somewhat more to the right for a better balance. Well done Hennie!!

      • Hi Bruna, does this look better ? That black line all along the bottom of the branch was very distracting to me; I tried fixing it using brush masks, but no matter what I did I could not make it look natural, so I gave up and went for the tight crop instead.

        • This looks much better with a little more space to contain the subject in the frame. The branch is an anchor point for the bird to rest on. That is why it is important to include that as well. Without the branch, the subject seems to fall out of the frame, and the composition feels unbalanced to the viewer.
