Nice subject. I like that you shot him from below his level.

I find myself wishing that the white portions of the subject's coat didn't have a color cast to it, and also that the tree trunk wasn't "growing" out of it's back and into the jaw.

I think that had there been a bit more light on the near side of the face and a catch light in the eye, it might have helped to bring a point of focus to the image.

His lips are so cute...
There's something funny about this Zebra... will have to come back and think about him..
His skin or hide doesn't quite fit him..

Where'd you find one of those rare yellow and black zebras?!? (light reflecting off the grass) The big branch under his neck is a bit distracting. Nice & sharp focus, good DOF. Would be a bit more dynamic if you had cropped it off center. Zebras are pretty cool creatures.

Good luck with the anal dnmc police. Maybe some tonal contrast adjustments would have helped.

Good DOF but the conposition is a bit uninteresting.
