I have held on to posting this for two years...I think it is time to see what you make of it.

Thanks
William

Do you have a colour version William?

Wow! You caught the right instant for best graphic effect.

Eric's right. It's beautiful, William. Bravo!

A good one, stamper! And, of course, a great one, William!

William I think you have earned your stripes.....photographically speaking. Well done.

On a side note, it is fascinating how humans are attracted to zebras because of their stripes, which is a direct opposite of the evolutionary intention. Granted, the evolution was supposed to take care of a different type of admirers: flies. Apparently, according to the latest theory, the stripes were supposed to confuse the vision of (often deadly) flies. Science class dismissed!

Apparently it works well for shark suits too, Slobodan!

Great shot, William.

Mike.

But Stamper: that is the colour one! I want to see it converted nicely to black and white.

Thanks to all who commented.

I made my biggest print ever (28'X41') of it yesterday and it is in for framing. It looks even better that size.

Regards
William

William, I am not sure that I can comment more expertly than this from Stamper!

And I'll bet you waited for that shot, and you calculated that exposure and you understood from the outset that big was going to be the best. Waiting and watching is what photographers do best.

It is a marvelous shot.

I wish I could say it happened like that...but I can't! I have no clue what I was thinking.

Feet? Or inches?

Great shot, either way.

Sorry! " ' " is feet! " " " is inches - should have been " " " !!!(inches).

Thanks again to all who commented.

William I don't think you needed to explain the situation. It was obvious to everyone else reading the thread that it was inches. Unfortunately from Jeremy it was a bit of feet and mouth.

Yes, it's a stunner - bravo!
