    Zebra are extremely social animals and they also seem to tell each other jokes!:D

    I wasn't quite happy with the few color versions I processed and decided to try a B&W conversion and felt it made a much stronger image.

    I decided to leave the behind of the zebra on the left, since without it the 'laughing' pose made less sense.

    Makgadikgadi NP, Boteti River, Khumaga, Botswana.

    Great lighting Vince.
    Perhaps a crop or clone of the Zebra on left?
    Love it, nonetheless!

    Cheers

    I think I like the left zebra included. Great expression, and I like the BW conversion.

    I don't know whether Zebra and humans think alike. Your photograph suggests so. :-)
    I like the B&W conversion.

    Hi Vincent,
    B & W works as does leaving the rear end of the one on the left. Maybe he has a sign on his butt that says "Kick Me"?
