Are you trying to stare me out?!

Chris,

This is a great shot!  The zebra's side view effectively displays its striping and his/her stare into the camera grabs my attention.  Congratulations on this!

Have you considered the following modifications:

I experimented a little with the color, converting it to B&W.  Additionally, I re-cropped it, and added a little more contrast and brightened some areas.

Thank you for sharing your photo and I hope this helps!
