Hi @that_bad_potographer! Welcome to the Lenspiration forums! You’ve come to the right place for getting feedback! I was just editing some photos of zoo animals the other day. I assume you were at the zoo. Or, are you actually from where zebras live!? 🙂
I like how you edited the Zebra photo! B&W is generally best when there’s good contrast like that. And it can turn mid-day, harsh-light photos into really nice photos that don’t look blah. If possible, I’d focused on a different zebra that wasn’t so close to another zebra so you could see the outline of it better. It would be nice if there was more separation.
What is that? An ocelot? So nice and sharp! That’s super important. I also like that you can’t really tell it’s at the zoo. And you gotta LOVE the framing! Very well done. Don’t have much bad to say about it. Perhaps you should change your profile name to “that_budding_photographer” haha
Great moment to snap a photo! Very expressive. Really gives that bird personality. 🙂 Either in camera or in post processing, I’d be doing everything I could to bring attention to the subject. So, from eliminating bright spots in the background with composition, to cropping a bit more off the top and adding a vignette in post processing.
Good work! Can’t wait to see more of your photos!
