 I took another field trip to the local zoo. Here I noticed this zebra, turning on the ground probably to remove bugs or so. Anyway I choose a low point of view to bring this behaviour close to the viewer and add more interest. (I do question if I meet the challenge though but we'll see :)). I used my 70-200 F/4.0 lens.

In post-process I changed levels, contrast and sharpness a little. However before I did that I used NeatImage to remove small traces of noise from the picture.

I finally figured out this is only one creature. Great expression. (I think) Is it a zebra? Well, maybe I'll find out tomorrow. Good photograph!

Because of the bloodshot eye, I was afraid that the zebra is dead. Got nothing else from this shot.
