I'm so sick of looking at stripes I'm going crossed eyed. :rolleyes Okay guys, I need some help in choosing which picture stands out the most(if any). I can't get a reshoot but I have the originals so I can re-edit.

1. I love the colors in this one...

2. Put in black and white with a bump in contrast.

3. A 'sunburned' look although this was her true color, I believe she was a yearling.

4. I love the composition...lines lead to the eye. B/w of the one above...look close the eye is in color-probably my fave of them all.

Thanks for any help! I appreciate it!!

    1 & 3 for me. I like the color version. Both compositions work.

    Like 2 and 3 for me..something about the eye stands out to me out of the stripes....
    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    I think 2 might be my fav (perhaps with color in the eye). I feel the most connection with the animal through the second image. The images with color left in the body of the Zebra seem confusing and detract from the strength and purity of B&W - Besides, everybody knows Zebra's aren't red!

    I've been coming back to this thread for a while and I can finally say I like #2 the best. It was between the pure B/W images, #2 and #4 for me. I like the observation you made about the lines leading to the eye in #4 - but I've read several times in critiques of animal pictures, their eyes are the key. And the 2nd picture is the one that has the eye most visible. I also love the saturation of black and white in color photo - very neat!

    Hey Hey, Equidae.. Zebras are brown and black as yutes... sometimes also the pink skin shows through the brown hair, especially when they're losing the brown to the white......

    #4 to me because the eye is accentuated by the back of the horse.... due to the angle of view...

    Hate to be a flip-flopper...but after looking at this again...and after reading Hoof's comments, I'm changing my preference to #4. :ps

    The real color is so unexpected that I would go with one of those.
