Very well done! I can feel the texture of the fur. Like the composition, tight cropping. Great color contrast. Slightly softer focus in the left upper corner does not bother me at all, attention drawn to the eyes.

Fantastic color and composition. Great texture, focus. Looks more like a painting to me, than a photograph. Hope you explain how you achieved this look. Very well done!

Stunning photograph in b&w, as Zebras are. Perfectly composed by cropping to draw one's attention to the eye. Great texture capture, such sharp focus. I like the b&w frame. Great title. Fits the challenge. Hope you place high with this one!

A favorite photograph of mine in this contest. Fits the challenge. Beautiful color, the texture is astounding. Looks like a needle point tapestry. Possibly the only thing I would like to see changed, is the left bottom corner, sharper focus to match the remaining print. No advice on how to achieve this, my macro shots are not nearly this stunning! Very well done.

Beautiful fall photograph. Exceptional color. Like the dof. Can't decide if I want to see more water in the foreground, or not. I'll go with your cropping. Well done!
