Very cute! I like the contrast between him/her and the background. And the way you've angled the shot is cool, like the Zebra is posing for the shot "Look at me, aren't my stripes the Bestest EVER!" ;)
Nice photo Dave, The zebra is quite vivid, though consider extending the focal length to get the entire zebra in sharp focus (or focus on a point in the middle of the intended focal area). Also, if you wish to liven up the background, without sacrificing attention to the focus, have the grass in focus too.
It seems to me that what wears us down the most in life aren't the chances we take, but the chances we dont take, the dreams we put aside, the adventures we push away, the questions that are never answered
