I chose this as my self portrait because one of my obsessions are zebras because I really like their print and they are similar to horses which I've always wanted one. I also love colors. Bright, neon colors! Also, when I take pictures or work with them for retouching, I don't like the subject being in the center or with the perfect balance within the picture. So I like that part of the zebra's mouth and top of the head isn't all shown. It lets viewers imagine the rest of the scene.
