    A pair of Zebras watch each others back in Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks for commenting on my earlier images.

    Nice comp, clean BG and framing here Sanjeev,

    just wished the Zebra on the right was a tad more parallel to your focal plane. Coat details look a little flat here and wondered if you were shooting through some dust?

    TFS

    Hi Sanjeev - I love it when zebras pose like this to protect each other. I agree with Marc's critique and also would add that I wish the horizon wasn't intersecting the ears.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Cool how the zebra's are wrapped around one another like that. The composition looks well balanced.

    HI Sanjeev -- I really liked the framing and the pose. Agree with Marc and Rachel reg the image looking flat and the head of the zebra being little towards the camera. nice one . TFS !

    Spot on Marc, it was a bit of dust settling upon stopping the vehicle for the shot.

    I really like the interaction of the zebras, to my eye the image quality looks absolutely super, I am really taken with this. The angle the shot was taken from was not ideal but it still looks like a very interesting image to me.

    Hi Sanjeev, I like your thinking here and in an ideal world being a bit to your right and slightly more 'angled' the heads may have worked. Not much you could have done with the horizon, but even with the dust, I think you could get a bit more 'depth' in the blacks for a little more impact.

    TFS
