That termite mound can be cropped to enhance this image. The angle although low is very low(sky in BG), an eye level shot might have worked better here.

[Ken Watkins]

The Zebra was on a ridge above the road.

Lovely look back pose Ken, and just love that karoo sky. I like the light on the zebra too. The angle doesnt bother me that much.

[Sid Garige]

Very nice image Ken. Wish there were puffy clouds in the background.

[Betsie Storm]

Lovely capture, Ken- and that sky! I like the over-the-shoulder pose; a very well-groomed looking individual.

[DanWalters]

Really like the position of the zebra and the way the light really hits the face. The blue sky makes a nice background as well.

[Ken Watkins]

Thanks for all your comments, the sky really was that blue! I cannot disagree with the fact that a few puffy clouds would have improved this, but there you go.

people who haven't been to the Karoo and Kalahari always think we pimp the saturation on the skies ;) they just have to go there to experience it for themselves

gorgeous light here Ken. like the pose too, and it's tack sharp. comp fine for me
