The B&W conversion works well here and as usual, an excellent shot!

Mario: beautifully done with BW being a great choice. I like how the sharp stripes of the zebra stand out against the oof background. The raised foreleg implies motion. Congrats! Richard

The bold lines of the zebra really pop against that soft fluffy background. Nice one.

HI Mario,

Very nice. I like both the idea and execution of the B&W conversion, and you used contrast (and differential contrast throughtout the final presentation of the image) very effectively here. Well done.
