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.

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 #9461555

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! #9461611

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. #9463392

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.
