Thanks for all the comments and votes.
I was "ify" on submitting this one. I saw all kinds of contrasts: fuzzy brown to silky, black to white, brown to white, gravel to hay, wood fence to wire fence and sunshine to shade. I didn't think it would score well because of the bright sun and I probably made it worse by post processing. Sometimes, you need to leave well enough alone.

A zebra is always a good place to get contrast! I love the pose here. Rump seems a tad overexposed.

Cute shot. Could be a bit sharper but it's lovely.

A zebra, of course, what a good idea for contrast. The background is a little bothersome tho, maybe a shallower DOF or different background would have enhanced this photo.

Looks more like a Zebra then a baby. :) You should have zoomed in on the neck and head since that part has the strongest contrast.

Over exposed baby. Difficult shooting in the bright sunshine. Nice try and great subject for the challenge.
