Great capture, Loot!

I would bet that very few who see this, can keep the smile off their faces...

Great timing of this wonderful moment, and excellent note.

Hi Loot,
a very telling, lively and well composed picture. And a note with a lot of information - and very amusing, too.
Good luck for a lot of shots like that to follow. Thank you :))!

Wonderful portrait and a really humorous expression. It is interesting that zebras make the same faces as the more common donkeys. Perfect focus and almost a 3D effect. Poor zebra mothers, a gestation period of 375 days! And I thought 40 weeks was bad, LOL!

Hi Loot

This Zebra is a real laugh. Good timing on your part. Looks like an audition for a toothpaste advert showing off hie 'pearly whites'. Well done. Thanks.

This is way funny Loot! As soon as I saw this guy I started laughing! Excellent DOF and in the monent! Great notes!

Thanks!

Humouristic shot, Loot, where life imitates animation! The image is also well composed with good sharpness and contrast. The DOF was perfect to blur the background just enough to make the subject stand out while retaining a pleasant natural look of the natural habitat.

Hi Loot,
By your thumbnails gallery I see that you have a lot of wonderful pictures, especially the animals heads. I have no time for many comments today, therefore I choose this funny zebra to write this note.
Beautiful portrait of a zebra!

When I saw this photo, I was thinking about the advert on the TV.. Long time ago.about the Mobil Petrol Stations.
It can also work for Colgate.
Well done!

Hi Loot,
What a pose, and be glad that he didn't ran away when you showed him yours. :-)
I can see that your gained your knowledge of PP work in a later stage as well. The colors and DOF are great, but comparing with the last few positings, this one needs some sharpness. Overall, an excellent photo.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Loot, I find your notes really interesting.

A great shot, being able to catch this young Zebra smelling the air. I think the colours of the Zebra are great, same with the background.

The Zebra looks fairly young, his teeth are so white and straight. If Zebras are like horses, as they age their front teeth start to push outward and get quite discoloured.
TFS Janice :)

Hi Loot
I choose one of your earlier ones, as I love laughing donlies, I was not yet lucky to nail one. Have a look at Japie's portfolio, he has the class-clown, similar to yours. I still hear a tractor starting ehen I see that picture!
I have done a WS for you, have a look.
Lekker naweek
Callie

Hello Loot
Me again. Seems like I got stuck in your portfolio. This guy is a sight for sore eyes. What a joker. Lovely photo that captured a very laughable moment. You seem to be lucky to be at the right place at the right moment.

Yow LOOT!

I can't believe I didn't already compliment U on this one! Hierdie streepiesman het nie tand borstel nie! Apart from that he seems to have a strange way of sniffing out a rival! What is this about die tand die Loot het? Bigger? I hope better kept! ;)


Lekker naweek man, Jaapkop

PS As expected, excellent Notes; properly creditted. Struik Publishers will be happy ;)

loot

for me this is the best zebra on the site...
let me explain. all the others are very static - yours is so dynamic.
i came to this site because i have a small company of one person (myself!) and called it 'The Big Black & White Zebra'! i have a design consultancy.
i designed a letterhead with your 'laughing zebra' for myself... however, i don't want to use it if you have any objections.
can you let me know? you can send me a mail on [email protected]

I am sure that one of these days I am going to beat this guy with smiles.
That will be when you are back, and up and going.
This photo deserve's a trophy. Congratulations!

Cool capture Loot,
I can't add anything that has not been already stated..
Suffice to say it's one of those special photos that "speaks" to the heart.
Humor is the best medicine :)
Excellent.

Hello Loot

'n Prettige foto met hierdie heel interessante gedrag van die kwagga. Jou waarnemings is kostelik en ek wonder wanneer sien ons die opvolg foto wat jy belowe het? Nog 'n skat tussen al jou ander juwele vanuit ons natuurlike bronne.

Groete
Rehanna

Hi Loot - What a smile :-)
Baie mooi foto Loot. Ek het nou die dag op Animal Planet fotos gesien waar hulle besig was om 'n tier se hare te skeer. Het jy geweet die vel het oop strepe soos die hare? Wonder is dit dieselfde is met Zebras?

Hallo Loot
This is a great portrait and I am sure it will provide you with a lot of memories in future. The composition is great and the exposure is spot-on. Photographically this is done well and you had the perfect model for this excellent shot. This guy had to proof that he is camera-friendly, and did exceptionally well. The expression on the zebra’s face is just to die for and there are not many of this comical but same time good quality images around. A brilliant capture with good eye and teeth contact. Thanks for sharing and a big smile back!
Love
Anna
