 Converted to B&W, resized and cropped. Adjusted levels. That's about it. I'll say it now, even though nobody'll be able to read it until after the vote, I double dare someone to tell me this is either to subtle for the challenge or that it isn't really black and white. *grin*

I probably would have given this a ten, but the contrast seemed a little low. it is definitely good.

For those who are interested, Grevy is the name for the kind of zebra pictured. I wanted to use the zebra's name, but couldn't track down the information.

I love Ze bras
 06/08/2002 07:09:00 PM
This is a perfect subject for black and white. I'm dizzy just looking at the photo.
 06/08/2002 05:49:00 PM
Interesting !
 06/08/2002 02:55:00 PM
I was really hoping to see a zebra photo this challenge, but I never imagined it would be this good. I absolutely love the composition of this photo.
 06/07/2002 02:01:00 PM
this is one of the best animal shots i have ever seen. nice nice nice!
 06/07/2002 07:33:00 AM
I'm not sure . . . I think this one would look better in color! J/k. To be honest, I can't make up my mind about this one. It's a great b&w subject, an interesting composition, technically ok, but for some reason I can't pinpoint why I'm not excited about it. I think it's just a tad too busy for me. No points deducted for my indecision though.
 06/06/2002 08:09:00 AM
The all-time classic B/W pattern. Looks like it's been stretched vertically?
 06/05/2002 03:42:00 PM
Really nice, you win. Sorry, but I have no constructive remarks. Strong black w/good contrast. (Isn't the subject already in b&w? Doesn't that count?) Photo 10 Creativity 10 B&W 10 total (what else?) 10
 06/05/2002 10:40:00 AM
neat composition, and great subject
 06/05/2002 10:32:00 AM
This is a great photograph, almost an abstract. Well done!
 06/05/2002 09:08:00 AM
Nice stripes
 06/05/2002 08:06:00 AM
I can't really think of a better subject for a black and white challenge... This is a really great photo.. these lines are dazzling to my eye and I am proud to give this photo a 10 this week... nice work!
 06/05/2002 04:19:00 AM
Good effect filling the whole frame. Was this taken like this or cropped afterwards?
 06/05/2002 12:24:00 AM
Splendid abstract of a something decidedly non abstract! Full marks.
 06/04/2002 06:26:00 PM
well done------10
 06/04/2002 05:34:00 PM
what a wonderful opportunity! I wish it was a touch sharper, like around his eye. great job.
 06/04/2002 03:43:00 PM
Excellent abstract.
 06/04/2002 04:40:00 AM
Wow, very bold photograph, framed in a unique way. I'm going to give you 10!
 06/03/2002 10:32:00 PM
Why the long face? (I crack me up)
 06/03/2002 10:27:00 PM
I was almost going to do something similar to this, but ended up with something else...
 06/03/2002 08:10:00 PM
i dont get the title, but this is an amazing photo.
 06/03/2002 07:49:00 PM
that's a very good one, and very creative! Sure it is black and white!
 06/03/2002 05:06:00 PM
nice contrast a bit overwhelming
 06/03/2002 04:59:00 PM
Great contrast. And a one of a kind entry for the week. I like this shot. An 8.
 06/03/2002 04:07:00 PM
Would be better if it weren't so close up.
 06/03/2002 04:04:00 PM
Nice side view
 06/03/2002 04:02:00 PM

 06/03/2002 02:53:00 PM
neat perspective.
 06/03/2002 01:51:00 PM
NIce crop.
 06/03/2002 01:11:00 PM
Neat b&w looks a tad bit distorted, but this is a fun shot.
 06/03/2002 01:10:00 PM
great cropping
 06/03/2002 12:11:00 PM
Very appropriate. I wish the nose was a little clearer. Still, a top 10 photo.
 06/03/2002 11:51:00 AM
Cool shot. Wish that it had more contrast between the light and dark stripes.
 06/03/2002 11:28:00 AM
Glorious! I love the texture of the skin/fur/ hair!
 06/03/2002 10:47:00 AM
I knew it had to be a Zebra, I just wasn't sure until I found the eye.
 06/03/2002 08:46:00 AM
Great shot, perfect for black and white. The angle and crop work very nicely too.
 06/03/2002 07:01:00 AM
NIce composition. I would have given this a 10 if the focus had been on the eye rather than the hide. (I imagine this is the AF feature at work.) Nice tonal range, Maybe jst a touch flat, looks like its about 8 zones, 9 zones would add a bit.
 06/03/2002 01:41:00 AM
Of course, we're not all lucky enough to have a spare Zebra wandering around our back garden:-) Cropped really well, Super subject matter. really captures the challenge criteria.
