Very nice dof with the head perfectly focused.

The dof really draws your eye to the Zebra and the soft colors make the Zebra pop. Nice one.

Lovely soft pastels for this portrait. He really does pop from the background.

The focus, skin texture, dirt on the muzzle and soft black and white tones in the stripes, set against a wonderful BG make for an amazing portrait.
I might be tempted to play with the crop a bit and perhaps have a bit less on the right. A square?
Great image.

I think your thumbnail shows a better crop of the zebra, rather than just cutting off the rump as in your main image.....but that said, the light, detail and exposure are just perfect. A stunning portrait of this handsome zebra Micha!
