    Dave, it looks like an endangered Grevy's zebra and is just beautiful. I think your processing of this image has been so effective that I have no suggestions for improvement. Love it.

    Dave, this is perfect. I love the PB effect on the mane and ears

    Dave, the image is striking and appealing. One thing that I notice is that there is a pretty ambiguous selection area around the edge, starting at the left ear and going across the top. I would suggest re-visiting that area to bring out more separation from the background.

    Hi Dave, I really like this version, a very cool and 'different' portrait to the ones I normally see and comment on. This style of treatment is very striking and has amplified some of the key features of this animal. Would love to see this BIG!
