Great composition. The blacks and whites are handled really well.

It is always a major challenge to make a pleasing composition with many animals in the frame. Here I like the juxtaposition of the row of zebras in front facing us and the other row of buts behind them. I think you managed to isolate an interesting scene from this chaos. The grass in the FG overlapping the zebra noses is a bit of a distraction though.

It's always awesome to find zebras in a tight formation like this! I might have tried to include the rest of the heads of the upper zebras here, obviously not at the expense of the lower zebras legs! I agree about the distracting foreground grass - perhaps with a little more reach you could have tried for a more abstract view, working around the necks of the drinking zebras.. Overall though a nice image

Challenging to frame these properly indeed, Hendrik!
I agree about the grass upfront, and might be tempted to play around with this in B&W
