Photo critique:
- It needs cropping to follow the rule of thirds or something similar and to provide some empty space for your zebras to look into.
- The rule of thirds is too hard to follow here, so I followed “harmonic means” by placing zebras’ eyes on the appropriate horizontals.
- In general, in shots made with a long lens, it is necessary to add a gradient indicating the light direction.
- The light comes from the right, so I brightened the top-right corner and darkened the bottom-left one.
- Color temperature looks wrong - too much blue cast.
- Fixed.
- There appears to be some haze.
- Compensated by the “soft light” effect.
- The color of the grass doesn’t look good: not enough contrast with the subject.
- Made it more green. Note that @Dito_Budi took the opposite approach, which is also valid.
- Needed to add a bit more saturation to the blue flowers to match.
- The fur looks a bit too soft.
- I sharpened the most important part - on the ears and the head of the young zebra.
Below is my attempt to address the criticisms using ART.
