Jackpot! I love the stripes against the soft green. Head angle is OK to show the stripes. Wish he had a catcj light in the eye, but hey, I'd take it anytime :)

[Ed Cordes]

Great detail and super BG. To my eye just a slight head turn would be good.

[Steve Canuel]

Very nice. Colors are soft yet vibrant. Love the detail in the mane. I'd be tempted to remove the yellow "Y" sticking into his throat but that's just being downright picky.

[DanWalters]

Great portrait! Like the detail in the zebra and the green background. Nice soft light as well.

[Ken Watkins]

The only thing missing is a slight catch light, but that is something rarely seen with Zebra. For once (and once only) I join the HAP.
Zebra are remarkable photogenic, but rarely well taken, this is a good one!

Stuart,
Lovely. I like the background, details and colours. I would crop just a little bit from the right.

Cheers,

Very nice portrait Stuart. The pastel background really accentuates the starkness of the zebra. Well done.

[Alfred Forns]

Fine detail and accurate color reproduction Excellent !!!

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I appreciate each and every comment.

[D. Robert Franz]

A bit of a in betweener comp wise. I might have liked a bit more of the zebra showing a bit of shoulder or a bit tighter with emphasis on the face. Love the greens and the color saturation. Well done..

[Stu Bowie]

Thanks a lot Robert. Yep, where does one draw the line.

[John Ippolito]

Very nicely captured, Stuart. Comp, colors, detail and soft light and a lovely BG for the Foal. Well done!

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you so much John.
