A couple of zebras in this challenge - such a logical choice. They're black and white regardless of which way you shoot them! Very sweet image with the baby. Wonderful that he's staring straight at you. It's also rather interesting that they're such different colors. Was one in the sun or something?

Great colors! This would probably look a little better without the green leaves (they look dead) but otherwise great shot

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I feel ambushed by this image - but in a good way! Spectacular processing elevates this image above mainstream floral work; the coloration, the texture and particularly the gradation of tones distinguish this image.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: tremendous stuff - I'd love to know your processing steps.
