I'm sorry, I'm not thrilled with this image. I find the bright black in the background very distraccting. I'd love to see this reversed with a faded backgroound of stripes and the zebras with enanced vibrance. Posted: 10/04/2025 17:36:07
Bev, thank you for your comments on this image. I have modified it several ways over the past years and the high key white stripes has by far done the best in competitions. Here is another one with major stripe changes. What do you think? Posted: 10/05/2025 12:53:06
This image has a highy graphic nature and is very creative. It is different and stands out. I am a fan of Grevy's zebras and this image makes me smile. You left more space at the top than the bottom. When I made the space above and below about the same, I got an even better feeling. Posted: 10/07/2025 11:22:04
