Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. :) I just got lucky that both zebras, happened to be face to face. The angle I was at wasn't great, because I ended up with the dirt ground behind them. But I loved the composition, so I masked them out in Photoshop which was a bit tedious and composited it over a gradient background. It then became the inspiration to do the same treatment to several other images and I made a series out of it. Its been awhile, but I'd like to add more to this series and maybe put together a coffee table book.

Ironically I was just thinking about that. I wanted to a while back, but never got around to it.

I love the composition of your photo. The play against the background is absolutely gorgeous. By far on of my favorite photos because I am a twin and this reminds me of being a twin. The grain is perfect! The fact that you can see their mane is impressive. Beautiful shot!! I can’t wait to see more.
