Challenge: Michael Jackson Song/Lyrics (Expert Editing*) Camera: Nikon D300 Lens: Sigma 50-500mm f/4.0-6.3 EX DG HSM for Nikon Location: Melbourne Zoo Date: Jul 6, 2009 Galleries: Animals, Black and White Date Uploaded: Jul 5, 2009

The Images: It's not an idea that's original with me, and I can't find out who the photographer is, but I saw an image like this in a UK photographic magazine and thought of the song immediately. I went to the zoo early, got the shot, came home and edited. I wish there was less sun as some of my highlights blew out and I didn't check my histogram.
The Edit: This is made up of a picture of a bar code and the zebra. I masked off the background and worked on levels and massaged the image with sharpening, dodge and burn and some contrast etc. Glad this is EXPERT.
The Prediction: I am happy with the image overall, but reckon there will be some exceptional stuff out there. Probably a 6.1???

This started slowly in the low sixes and like an old Jumbo jet willing itself to take off it slowly rose where in day 2 it is at 6.9909. The more I look at it the more I love it. As I mentioned, the idea was not original with me, I was inspired by a small thumbnail size image in a UK photography magazine. I feel it works so well on many levels.
I hope it climbs over the 7 and gets a ribbon actually. And if the photographer that had the original idea happens to see it, I take my hat off to you for your inspiring image.

After dipping below 7.1, it's nice to be back there with 45 minutes remaining:
