Artwork description:

The right eye of a Grévy's zebra can be seen in close-up against a blueish background. Shot with a Nikon D800 at the Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno, near Santander, Spain, in June 2017.
ISO 1100, 400mm, f/5.6, 1/250

This image was runner-up in the Guardian readers' travel photography competition for August 2017:

"Good, very good, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field is spot on and the bold cropping and blue to the left intriguing. Nice one – zebra are easy to photograph but not often this well." Paul Goldstein

This image also won a Special Recognition award in Light Space & Time's Nature Art Exhibition in 2017.
