Hello! You must be Jubei Kibagami registered in a new name? I loved the image you uploaded back in 2004, looked identical to this one, so I'm thinking this must be an adjacent frame? Lovely!

of the best captivity shots I've seen. I normally hate zoo shots b/c they feel cheap, like shooting fish in a barrel, but this image goes a step further. We see the zebra's camouflage within a man-made environs, which is both though evoking as well as visually stimulating. Coupled with the down-trodden look of the animal, I just think this image has a lot of depth and so deserving of top 25 billing. fav'd

Ahhh Yomi! I was just about to look for the VERY similar image and say, I remember this shot from Jeremy West several years ago - then I researched and - it's YOU! I always liked the image, Jeremy. Still works for me, in fact.

Back for comment and bump. This is just an awesome job of using lines to create tension and draw the eye to your subject. B&W works perfectly here.
Post actions
This is very well scene and photograhped. I love the DOF and composition and the image is perfectly suited to your very fine Black and white conversion.
Post actions
Perfect positioning here! I love the contrast of the fence with the zebra!
Post actions
My fingers are tired but had to comment on this photograph. What can I say other than amazing lines and very nice B&W conversion. However I do wonder if cropping the right side and not having the foreground wall would have been better. Nice shot.
Post actions
Fantastic - you've hit on the perfect background for a zebra shot. Black & white is absolutely the right way to go here and seeing the flow of the fence to provide a visual stop on the right is inspired. A pattern shot par excellence.

Love the interplay of lines. Well imagined, captured and presented. Wish we saw more out-of-the-box photos like this here.

Well spotted! Good lines....all of them! Nice capture.

i don't typically go for wild animals in captivity shots, but the artistic qualities here transcend my usual pettiness. excellent capture, one deserving to be printed large.

C'mon everyone - blend! Nice use of patterns and black & white.

What camouflage! Great vision, this is excellent.

Great image. Love all the stripey contrasts.

What a great eye you have to see this in b/w before you actually took the shot.
Post actions
Wonderful B&W. Nicely processed!
Post actions
Great patterns!!! I love the contrast, yet cohesive nature of this photo!

Very nice. The lines are great and the zebras expression.

This juxtaposition works really well - great image.

Interpretation of Topic: Great Idea!

While I don't normally like to see the caged animal shots, I must say the background here is just perfect for this guy!
Post actions
Great shot. The lines in the zebra competing with the vertical lines. could be a bit stronger but still well done.
Post actions
Very fine use of contrasting lines and the toning is just right

Excellent in black and white.

Like how graphic it feels.
Post actions
Lines and color make it nice.

I think this is just fabulous. The compostion & DOF choice are great. I'm trying to figure out if it is my monitor that is a bit too bright, but the image does look it would benefit from a slight reduction in brightness. I am not letting that affect my score though, as it is likely me!
Post actions
A masterpiece in lines. Just love it and the dof. Maybe he thinks he's camouflaged... A fave
Post actions
ha ha ha...this is really good...it is color in B&W...not sure..

Excellent image. The vertical stripes and the Zebra's stripes together create a delicious and unusual visual cocktail. Very nicely seen, captured and presented. 8
Post actions
very well seen. would be perfect if the front fence also was in focus
Post actions
Post actions
great capture. great eye.
Post actions
Post actions
Good catch! It's all about the stripes. I wish the front fence were a touch sharper. The b/w treatment works well in this instance.
Post actions
sharp, almost painfully so. The near fence and the far fence mess with my eyes, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Good use of desaturation.
Post actions
Great camouflage! Love all the stripes and lines.
Post actions
hehehe- this is almost dizzying. nice idea

Nice take on complimenting lines. But it seems to need some straightening and the zebra appears over-sharpened.

I really like this ... the composition is great and I like the way the fence lines play with the zebra's stripes ...

Can you say CONTRAST? I thought you could!

Almost completely camouflaged...

really nice composition and focus!

Oh that is great to combine those stripes!
Post actions
Wonderful, wonderful! Beautifully composed and the exposure is spot on! He looks like he's so misunderstood - like he's been placed with these lines to feel at home, but they just dont 'get' him at all.
Post actions
This is really cool. Your shot stood out from the other thumbnails, so I figured I would cherry pick it, and leave a comment. I love how the zebra is blending in with the fence. Nicely captured.
Post actions
Hogle zoo? I ALMOST thought of putting up a very, very similar shot. Would be surprised if it wasn't the hogle zoo.
