Fantastic work in letting us see that not all things are as they appear to us. Your incredible use of the camera lets us see those other tones. I love the way you composed the picture, the dof, and then the gorgeous colors of the zebra. The way you detail every single hair is amazing, the sharpness of the details awesome. Amazing an gorgeous work my friend.Carla Capra Anderson June 16, 2011
