Hello! You must be Jubei Kibagami registered in a new name? I loved the image you uploaded back in 2004, looked identical to this one, so I'm thinking this must be an adjacent frame? Lovely!

of the best captivity shots I've seen. I normally hate zoo shots b/c they feel cheap, like shooting fish in a barrel, but this image goes a step further. We see the zebra's camouflage within a man-made environs, which is both though evoking as well as visually stimulating. Coupled with the down-trodden look of the animal, I just think this image has a lot of depth and so deserving of top 25 billing. fav'd |

Ahhh Yomi! I was just about to look for the VERY similar image and say, I remember this shot from Jeremy West several years ago - then I researched and - it's YOU! I always liked the image, Jeremy. Still works for me, in fact. |

Back for comment and bump. This is just an awesome job of using lines to create tension and draw the eye to your subject. B&W works perfectly here. |

My fingers are tired but had to comment on this photograph. What can I say other than amazing lines and very nice B&W conversion. However I do wonder if cropping the right side and not having the foreground wall would have been better. Nice shot. |

Fantastic - you've hit on the perfect background for a zebra shot. Black & white is absolutely the right way to go here and seeing the flow of the fence to provide a visual stop on the right is inspired. A pattern shot par excellence. |

I think this is just fabulous. The compostion & DOF choice are great. I'm trying to figure out if it is my monitor that is a bit too bright, but the image does look it would benefit from a slight reduction in brightness. I am not letting that affect my score though, as it is likely me! |

sharp, almost painfully so. The near fence and the far fence mess with my eyes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Good use of desaturation. |
