    Default Black & White, with stripes all over

    Photographed in Etosha National Park, Namibia. I wanted to emphasize the graphic look of zebras but still show these as real animals by keeping the noses velvet-looking and real. I used Photoshop to desaturate the original RAW capture.
    Canon 40D, Canon 70-200 f2.8 L IS lens, f6.7, 1/1000, program mode, ISO 400.

    Look forward to all comments.

    Nancy, Big Welcome to BPN and most especially OOTB! It was great to spend time with you on the IPT. You are such a great lady and we had so much fun.
    Beautiful first post. I love the lines and the high key feel to this. Excellent head positions and framing. Looking forward to more.:)

    Hi Nancy

    Tremendous first post. Where have you been since joing in BPN's first month?

    Your beautiful presentation conveys the silkiness of the noses as well as a lovely texdture on the rest of the blacks.

    I would definitely hang that on my wall.

    Nancy, welcome to OOTB:) Gorgeous first post and one of many I hope. I love the high key effect and intimate pose. A wall hanger for sure.

    I'm loving it, too, Nancy! Great graphic lines and it really holds my interest. I think the best part is how bold and strong everything is but the noses remain soft and sweet. Love it!

    Nancy!!!!!!!

    I was just talking to Al about you today as we drove back from the West Coast :)
    So glad to see you here, we really clicked with you and sometimes there isn't enough time to keep up with friends.
    You know how much I liked the Zebra, so I'll be looking out for the rest of your posts.

    Big welcome to BPN :)
