Mohawk

The Zebra appears to be Black and White but with a little closer observation you can see the other rich color tones on their coat! (This close-up image is full size - Not Cropped)

  Love them stripes. What you say about color is so true in many animals. It's the getting close enough to rally see thats the tough part.

Happy Shooting

  Wow - I'm surprised at the variety of shades in the coat as well! Our 10-year-old grandson gets a mohawk every year when school's out, but the rest of his head isn't nearly as colorful as this! ;-D

  Great diagonal comp, Jeff - really showcases the long line of this beautiful animal's neck and the b/w stripes and spikey "mohawk"...b/g enhances those color tones perfectly - it all comes together superbly. Great eye at work here...well seen and captured!

  Fantastic work in letting us see that not all things are as they appear to us. Your incredible use of the camera lets us see those other tones. I love the way you composed the picture, the dof, and then the gorgeous colors of the zebra. The way you detail every single hair is amazing, the sharpness of the details awesome. Amazing an gorgeous work my friend.
Have yourself a great day.

  It's always a visual delight to visit your gallery, Jeff! I know I am redundant here saying this again but your diversity is really refreshing. You seem to excel at every type of image you try out.

ANYWAY- I know what you mean. We have a black cat that is really burgandy in spots.

Wonderful job and love the choice of framing.
