Hey Prashant, can we do a little experiment here ? Let's take away ( crop out ) the two zebra's in the front and then have a gradient of defocus, I did it and felt it looks just awesome. The image really looks unique that way...., a very unanticipated composition can be derived. I am really not sure if you or others would like it but I simply loved it, that way the image looks so spontaneous, natural and unplanned.

Thanks Nilanjan da! I think I'm getting what you are trying to say. Will try your suggestion on the original and post it here.

I agree on Nilanjan's point. It does look better that way!

Nilanjan's suggestion works perfectly for me. It looks far better that way.

Thanks Harsha & Adithya! I have posted the re-cropped version in the illustration forum. Please suggest if that version works for you.

Yes , this is working much better for me. Prashant, what did you think personally ?

Prashanth, for me the cropped one works better - I felt it has some more visual order than this one. The current one seem to have a 'split' which seem to go away in the crop. That said, I would liked another anchor in the cropped version too. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Nilanjan & Ganesh! Yes, the cropped version has mystique feel which is missing in the earlier version.

This one works better. Not sure a little bit of the back of the front zebras would also adds or not.

Thanks Adithya, sorry for the late reply. I feel leaving only a hint of the zebras in the front might have spoiled the balance of the image. But, I'm getting what you are trying to say. Unfortunately I do not have many compositions of this. I'll try your suggestions if I get a chance nexttime
