Made up

Whew ... all these rules. My poor zebra was set out to pasture in the "exhibition" folder, so here's another. Blown highlights (proper exposure rule) and oversaturated colors (gotta be some rule about that) give this little girl and otherworldly quality, to my mind.

Canon PowerShot G9
1/160s f/6.3 at 36.8mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Qualified, but I don't personally care for the effect. Perhaps if the left third of the image was cropped off to get rid of all the background clutter? ~ Lonnit

Having it black in front of her face and overly bright on the back of her head definitely sets off her face and also lessens the distracting background behind her. Over saturating the colors on her face and over exposing her skin didn't help such a sweet face. John
