    I like the full better than the crop. Maybe a less lower right crop that retains what there is of the zebra's head and the top of the grass?

    The contrast of the zebra's stripes and the grass is interesting, I think there might be something worthwhile here. Try increasing contrast and saturation. I'd use LAB steepening to do this as it gives best control, but there is more than one way to skin a cat...
    If not now, when?

    uh, no, not for me.........

    I think you need a head, not sure. I can grasp the idea, it just doesn't come through.

    What about a horizontal crop, really reaching here.

    ne_nau.gif Might work better with the zebra in focus instead of the grass? Or both? Ginger makes a good point - maybe the head is needed?
