"A man without a zebra is like a culture without stripes." :))

Don't mind me, I just love twisting proverbs and see what hidden truth lies beneath.

Great ultraclose shot in bl/w (as it should) and from an origianl pov. Good sharpness, makes me wonder just how close you were to the animal.

Interesting post, original work. Hats off from me, Fulya!

Stay fine & thanks for sharing this one.

Benny

Excellent shot !
I have seen many close-up with zebra but never with a such POV, playing with the face like this and I like it very much ! Congrats.

Hi Fulya
A personal close up of a zebra face in B&W as the animal is black and white so the whole image might as well be too. Good strong image with excellent brightness in the face. Love the tight frame well exposed with a focus sharp on the eye, being the vital part of this image and fine detail on the face as well. It is a precious look indeed. The stripes make a fabulous abstract that demands a bit of attention here and there is a really hypnotic wavy effect when you scroll this gently up and down. This makes a fascinating image and well taken, Congrats and TFS
Best regards

Hallo Fulya,

Een foto met een prachtige close-up en verdeling, zodat de kijker nu letterijk en figuurlijk oogcontact heeft met de zebra.
Verder is de foto ook mooi belicht.

Samengevat: knap fotowerk.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Robert

Hi Fulya, not always easy to capture a Zebra with is stripes.. Thbe use of a 300mm lens certainly allowed you to get the close up.. a higher F stop would have given you are larger D of F, allowing for a sharper image. never the less a wonderful photo. I hope you enjoyed your trip.. you certainly covered alot of miles. well done Rich
