I'm so surprised this didn't score higher. Definitely my fave for this challenge.

Well, I suppose it was too abstract to score higher, though I still think it should have been at least in the top 20. It was definitely my pick for the top 3.

Great shot. This would also be a good one for the Fill the frame challenge. Well done. A strong 9.

I love the close up!

Interesting composition. Wish the DOF was deeper to get the stripes in the background into focus as well. Would have made the abstract nature of the shot more impressive (imho, of course).

This is my pick for the best of the challenge. Technically excellent, and beautiful light and composition. Wow!

Would have made a good fill frame also. DOF seems a bit off but depending on how close the shot was maybe nothing could be done about it. 9

Your lucky that you have interesting animals like that to photograph. It seems like the picture was oof and you tried to sharpen to compensate but i think it was a little over-sharpened, which is probably whats hurting my eyes :P other than that its not really an interesting pose, you cant tell which end your looking at reallylol, you can see the one eye there but its just too lost in all the black and white. 4

nice tight crop really adds to the drama of the image

What a great way to show a zebra. The cropping is awesome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/25/2007 09:03:03 PM
almost awesome. there's almost no diffentiation between head and rest, which is the idea I am sure, but it makes it kinda messy too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2007 12:56:35 AM
Nice composition, almost an abstract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2007 09:30:32 PM
I like how you filled the frame. Would have been a lot stronger shot if it would have all been sharp

I like this image. Great eye to capture this shot.

Outstanding abstract ... great composition/crop.

I love this photo! You're a genius!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the sparkle in the eye. Part of me would have liked to see the whole thing in focus so there was more of a uniform look, but still, it looks very good as is too. Very abstract, interesting, and engaging. I can see this doing well.

EXCELLENT!!! 10 I hope you ribbon!!!

I do like these kind of zebra shots. Good capture...I like the reflection in the eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 10:37:58 AM
really wonderful, lots of abstract appeal, too! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 10:08:55 AM
Very, very nice. Consider dogding/burning the stripes on the face to preserve the bold contrast of the left side of the compositionl. 8 from me.

Great close up, would have liked to have seen some environment though. 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 05:48:04 AM
Good but I feel that the eye is not clear enough. Also they are tricky animals to photograph as the stripes always look out of focus even though they are not.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 05:27:51 AM
wow really nice 9
