 I took another field trip to the local zoo. Here I noticed this zebra, turning on the ground probably to remove bugs or so. Anyway I choose a low point of view to bring this behaviour close to the viewer and add more interest. (I do question if I meet the challenge though but we'll see :)). I used my 70-200 F/4.0 lens.

In post-process I changed levels, contrast and sharpness a little. However before I did that I used NeatImage to remove small traces of noise from the picture.

I finally figured out this is only one creature. Great expression. (I think) Is it a zebra? Well, maybe I'll find out tomorrow. Good photograph!

Because of the bloodshot eye, I was afraid that the zebra is dead. Got nothing else from this shot.

Ahhh, it's a zebra's life. I would have liked to see more of the eye.

Love this photo, it's hilarious. Shallow dof works well, earth tone colors are nice too.

This shot is BY FAR the best shot in the challenge IMO, hope it gets the ribbon! I really like the way his eye is looking too, strengthens POV. Great whiskers, well done!
