[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Most of us will remember (or else heard of) Mr Ed, the famous talking horse. What's been kept a closely guarded secret for many years is now in the open. In Namibia explorers have come across Mr Ed's nephew...a talking Zebra.

Photo's are scares but I've managed to find one to share the big news (apart from the financial crisis) of today.

Due to almost nil time (am studying) one of the old shoebox photo's.

Wow Edwin! Extraordinary details and clarity. What an expression you have captured here.

I love the title- I used to watch Mr. Ed with my old aunt before she passed away. Excellent crop and management of the lighting.

Very well done!

Good one Edwin
A pleasure to look at.. sharp.. good light control ..
the subject comes nicely 'in' from the side .. and a extra bonus..
It is very humoristic.

OH I have to compete in a contest with a photo of the best smile from a stranger and this will suit it so well. Wish I could get around to have mr Ed's nephew smile for me LOL

Very good and funny shot!!
Crisp detail right to the teeth (that seems to need a dentist).

TFS

Wia

Hij is fijn Edwin!

Het kunnen best humeurige beesten zijn, but you have captured this moment well. Lovely how all the tiny details stand out here.

Fun posting.

Hello Edwin!

Best regards!

...I return... :)

What a great moment to capture, with his top lip wrinkled up so that we can see his teeth!
The blurred green background helps to make him pop out.

Wonderful colors, Edwin!
This shot is very nice :)
