All praise for your pan attempts Rachel, and whilst you have fair amount of lower leg blur, however this one doesn't quite work for me here, the zebra appears more to be floating than moving forward at any pace.
I feel your S/S of 1/40s is a little too high and would like to see this down to around 1/20s (seeing your @ min f/36, a CP filter would have helped here
) or so to have the shoulders and rump exhibiting that whirring action and the subsequent BG horizontal smooth/streaking coming into play.

Choosing the right SS is very much trial and error per subject per context - the speed at which they move is a big deciding factor and the more you practice, the more you'll "feel" the right SS beforehand.
This is okay Rachel - I'm the first one that says not all panning needs the head/face tack sharp. I do agree with Marc that slower SS and perhaps a slightly more dynamic pose would have helped.

Hi Rachel always good to experiment and it is very tricky to get a decent result .
Always a matter of taste wether you need some sharp points in the image or not .I personally think this does not work as presented . Sorry .
The BG is too busy and i miss some sharpness in the subject ...
Just my view .
But i would try again as i do find this panning shots very interesting and attractive

Thanks guys. It definitely is fun to try and unfortunately we can't always chose where they run or which direction they go in so it can be frustrating at times too. I also tend to prefer the head to be a little sharper but wanted to hear other thoughts. The wildebeest I posted a few weeks ago had the head sharper. Marc - I could have lowered the ISO for an even slower ss but generally I shot them at 1/30 or 1/40.
Thanks again,
Rachel

HI Rachel -- I am a big fan of panning images and to get one perfectly is a challenging thing , I my self has failed several times in doing so . Great to see you had used your opportunities well in achieving the panning shots . I am with Andreas on this though . not quite there for me as I feel some part of the subject needs to be sharp to make it a point of interest . Nice attempt !
TFS !
