zebra fighting

[peter delaney]

D3 20-400 mm lens , wimberly head on manfrotto monopod. 1/1600 @ f4 ,iso 1000 .

Taken at Madikwe game reserve , South Africa .

I am working on a B&W version of this but at the moment it is a work in progress...

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wow this is outstanding Peter. Incredible timing and action captured in this image and I love the dust that they have kicked up and the open mouth on the zebra on the right. Awesome capture !!!

[Ken Watkins]

I think this is far superior to the last one you posted!
The only way it could be improved is if you had an actual bite!

[David Fletcher]

Outstanding shot Peter. Action is as good as it gets and fab IQ and details. So much to enjoy here. WD!

[Stu Bowie]

Great action Peter, and both so well exposed. Zebbies are one of my favourite subjects.

[Robert Amoruso]

This is so sharp and because of the strips, this jumps out of the screen. Great job making this look so 3D like.

[Marc Mol]

Great action image Peter, captured perfectly.
The rearing up, dust and bared teeth really make this for me.

[Morkel Erasmus]

you know I love this Peter. what a moment, so sharp, great action...

[Harshad Barve]

Nothing much to add here , Big time congratulations for such a fine shot

Hi Peter: This is a powerful image and I can't believe how sharp it is. Awesome!

[Steve Canuel]

Excellent clarity and sharpness. Action is top shelf and it really pops off the screen. The dark spot in the BG on the right (as viewed) momentarily draws my eye as does the white stump coming off the rump of the one on the left but only because of the relative differences with the mostly green BG. I like the transition of the lighter green of the grasses with the darker green of the bushes and also how the dead tree curves over the zebras in a similar arc from tail to top of the head. A very cool image to view.

Peter,
Superb image. This is much better than the previous image of fighting zebras. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Peter, this is jusr fantastic. excellent capture and amazing interaction and action.
Maybe a slight crop off the top. but otherwise this is excellent.

[Fabs Forns]

Peter, this is amazing! Clean fight and the open mouth showing teeth really shows how violent this could get.
VWD!!!
I like the tree, the way it frames the action too.

[DanWalters]

Great action! Love the teeth and the dust being kicked up.

[Hendri Venter]

Very very impressive image Peter. Feels like all the action is right in front of me. Very nice feel to it. Well done.

[peter delaney]

Thanks to you all for such positive feed back...
Steve, thanks for pointing out the white stump and green patch... will work on those .. but at the moment I think the B&W version of this stronger and they are not so noticeable ,will post that version soon...

danny , my biggest dilemma with this image was the crop and how much f the oof tree to include I think what i have posted works best ,any more off top and i will loose the framing effect of tree branch..

Fabs ... this was just a gentle warning to the younger stallion ... I have seen the post effects when they do battle.. not for the faint hearted...

thanks again everyone for your support..
