Trying something a little less obvious -- I know it has been done before, but do you like it?

it would be cool if you painted your face in the exact same pattern and had your face sticking in the side, haha.

The chopping off of his snout is distracting for me, perhaps because thats the direction the zebra is looking

I found the cut-off snout distracting as well. I did play with the image in photoshop a little and this is what I came up with. It's more of a texture shot, but it was fun to mess around with. Besides, I'm a big fan of the extreme close-up.
