    Rudi, I have to agree with Dumay here. This has captured a priceless expression on both zebra faces, light is beautiful, IQ excellent, background wonderful.

    I think it could take a crop from the bottom, taking off the messy legs, that would be my only suggestion.

    Lovely light, crop/comp and interaction here Rudi!
    I am thinking about a slight crop from the LHS to remove the...um..."exhaust"

    Hi Rudi, looks like you have a nice series of interactions with the Zebra.

    Initially when I saw it, I too thought, would it better slightly cropped at the foot, as per Hilary's suggestion, however this would then mean cropping the tail, therefore I think it looks good as presented.

    I agree, this is worth investigating.

    OK, here is the image without the "exhaust"... Personally, I like the first post that did not cut off the base of the tail! So I suppose it is "exhaust" vs "base of the tail"... I love this!!!!
