Hey Di - Did you really use a Quantaray 70-300 lens for this shot, or was that an error? I don't see this lens in your equipment list. Was wondering if there was any quality in the Quantaray line - they are priced cheap enough!
The detail in the hair is really nice, I can't pick out what the spot is fly, bug. Maybe just a touch closer to get more of that detail. Overall very nice.
Interesting idea, but the spot is a bit difficult to see.... But then again I don't suggest hopping into it's territory and putting a bigger spot on it
There is a yellowish spot, which could be a bug or something else, which feels out of place. If just the zebra print was in the picture this would be better.
Great, great shot of zebra stripes... However, one can barelly see the "damned spot", which is intended to be the main point of the image... That, of course, is a turn off. I feel that, in a different context, I would have scored this image much higher...
Anyway, very nice shot and good job.

Meets challenge description, 4pts the spot was hard to find among the lively background of the stripes.
Meet definition of minimalism..7pts image speaks clearly about zebras
Technical, 3pts need better focas and attention to detail
Artistic, 5pts
"Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image, but only occupying a very small portion of the image space." I am bothered by this image, as the Zebra is clearly the stronger subject in this image, and clearly is not occupying a very small portion of the image space.
