Black with white stripes or white with black stripes, that is the question. For it is better to take a clear wonderfull picture than to drop your new toy in the mud. :-) Wonderfull shot Jan!

Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.

Excellent Jan! What a deep brown eye he has, and blends perfectly with the brown in the background. I never thought about the color of zebra's eyes I wonder if they come in different colors like horses. And I have to agree, it's somewhat abstract. I like the shadow too it gives it a pleasantly odd balance. I was going to joke and suggest to do it in black and white but when I enlarged it and saw how rich the browns were it just wasn't that funny anymore. Very nice.

Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to the Emerald City and OZ A very nice place to repose. Trust me on this one, I live there ............The Lion...................... MY GALLERY - The Magical Mystery Tour
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Very nice portrait, Jan - it makes for beautiful desktop. You really had fun at the zoo didn't you? From what I've been seeing it was well worth the trip.
did you know that male Zebras are black with white stripes and female Zebras are white with black stripes?...or is it the other way around? hmm.. anyway I love it!
