haha, this is actually a mounted head of a zebra. my dad went on safari a year or so ago and we just got the head shipped to us. since it was something new, and my alienbee stuff was something new, i thought id kill two birds (well, more like shoot a dead zebra) with one stone

I think it's beautiful. Exposure looks great. And I wouldn't have been able to tell that it isn't alive!

You should of said, "I know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody with a zebra"! It looks "alive".

I'd have believed you!

Ha! I think you're right. Let's just pretend I said that.
@ Grimlock, not a big deal. I just don't like to spark debates/drama. I shoot for the fun of it. Not for the controversy on the subject lol
