I'm ready for my...

Hi Ronald,

This is fun! Have to say I really like abstract and creative wildlife photography like this - more interesting for me (and presumably some others) than simple documentary shots.

The lines and texture are great here and definitely helps that all parts of the image are sharply in focus. I have no nits with cropping or placement of the eye (and how you've placed the lines in the corners of the image). The only "nit" I have is about something you had no control over - wishing the longer hairs BELOW the eye weren't there (but I'm not advocating cloning them out).

This is a shot that I think would lend itself very well to B&W conversion, and my first thought is that going extreme in contrast (almost posterized with mostly true blacks and true whites) would be real fun...

Refreshing shot - thanks for posting it...cheers...

Very nice image. I am always drawn to creative and unusal wildlife images. Love the compsition and detail.

Ronald,
Well done to my eye everything is correctly positioned, with no "clipped" bits. The colours are perfectly rendered Zebra stripes are often not very white, detail is splendid

I like the image, but I think it would be interesting to see how it would look in Black and White. Could you do that and add the image. I think that it would turn out looking fantastic.

For me the most interesting part of this photo is the subtle tan and brown colour variations, including the eye. It emphasizes the point Ken makes that Zebra stripes are often not white. Wonderful organic feel to this one Ronald.

Nice work. Only thing I would try would be less on the left edge for a more conventional proportion, and emphasizing the diagonal nature of the stripes leading up to the eye. Still, fine as posted.

Very cool portrait Ronald,
The detail and colors are perfect as well as the sun angle you managed that illuminates across the subject in such a way to give each strip a unique appearance all its own.
Well Done . .

Just right. The subtle darker gradations of shadow at top of face enhance it even more.

Super detail and textures Ronald. Zebras offer endless fun if you like playing with images and this is a very fine one, with the stripes running nicley to the bottom RH corner and the eye well placed.
