I got these at Alabama Safari Park in Hope Hull, AL yesterday. I wish I had got their entire faces in frame. Critiques encouraged and appreciated...

Very nice, the processing is great. I like the tight view in the first and agree the second would benefit from a little more room, especially at the bottom.

I agree with Heron. Very good processing with clean whites and deep blacks. Are you converting or shooting native b&w? In order to adequately critique your b&w, it would be good to see some images with a wider range of tones. Keep 'em coming.
Cheers,
Brent

I agree with Brent and Heron comments, love the tight crop and post processing.

Thanks for the comments.

I converted it in post. I made the blacks blacker and the whites whiter so there's not much in between in these images.

High key or nothin' when it comes to zebs IMO!

Great in-your-face comps - agree with a little more space in #2, but they still grab ya.

An excellent first try! And excellent compositions, (barring the need for the zebra's nose to be completely in the frame,)!
