I think your title is poor. Everybody always tries to incorporate the theme of the challenge into the title, and usually the titles end up being lame. Your image fits the title, it's hardly necessary to put the word "even" in the title. I give you a six

Nice and even, perfect symmetry, this should do well.

LOL, great capture !!

Great one! I usually prefer colors to B&W. Just wonder what converting to B&W would do to this image???
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2005 12:59:37 AM
Beautiful, measured, numbered, good lines and balance.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2005 11:38:26 PM
7 - Good. Nice and simple. Criticism; difficult perhaps, but even 'crisper' focus, especially around the eyes, would have made this even better in my opinion. Maybe also a slightly different crop, more at the top, depending what you had to work with. Up to 7 from 6.

11/24/2005 07:41:03 PM
Awsome picture. Do you have your own Zebras ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2005 09:07:08 AM
Tighter cropping, straightening, desaturation and a thinner border would have made this a fantastic photograph, as opposed to a decent one. GREAT concept, though! :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2005 09:06:57 AM
Very well seen and captured. Perfect for this challenger - and I'm a sucker for zebras - they are so photogenic. An 8 - well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2005 08:59:27 AM
Great composition and color, I'd love to see it a bit sharper but excellent none the less. Congratulations

This is great...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2005 12:30:20 AM
Cute!!! Zebras are the "bestest." Focus seems a little off, but excellent positioning. The picture's very clear.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2005 07:02:52 PM
very cool...the look of it being a reflection is great!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2005 06:51:34 PM
Cute picture, but how are they even? OK 2 Zebras are even.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2005 06:40:54 PM
I really like this photo, great composition. Something seems a little off, to put this over the top for me, maybe the background is a little too bright.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2005 04:45:02 PM
Very nice! Great eye to catch the pattern here and nice job framing. One of my top 20 this week.
