 Three Zebras taken at the St Louis Zoo. They were huddling together and the one in the middle was making a funny face. I can't help but think of referees when I see Zebras and they look like striped donkeys.

Edit: Fixed the spelling of striped, seems that I'm the jackass...:p

I love all the black & white lines in the zebras and the funny face in the middle. They really do look like they are huddled talking over some controversial call. I like the title and the b&w conversion, and the very nice composition.

I could see this shot being used on a greeting card that implies the middle zebra was doing the talking.

Wonderful to look at. As if the striping were a code, but I am looking not to figure but to get a sense of - gestalt vs. analysis.

Excellent contrasts. I love how the black and white stripes are so brilliant and bold. Wonderful photo.

Wouldn't stripped donkeys be pink? ;-)

Thats just funny, looks like a nice big yawn - guess the zoo wasn't exciting that day!

Ah - the three amigo's . .

Zebras are always good to look at - fascinating stripes and patterns.

Good to see the one in the middle has found something to laugh about . . .

Cool shot, I like how you can see all three heads as they are at different angles, and the expression on the middle one is great

I absolutely adore your message about why you named this photo what you did. I love it! Love the face on the middle one, looks like he smelled something bad and he's saying "OK, now who keeps doing that?".
And composition-wise that diagonal of stripes on stripes on stripes rocks.
