Hi Rachel, I like this a lot. So good to see them so young and good thing is its in clean & clear surroundings with no distractions. Light looks nice and the details are good. TFS.

Love the pose and facial expression on the zebra. Lovely detail. Nice POV. The image looks a wee bit yellow here.

I have never seen a small zebra for that reason i enjoyed viewing this one. The composition is nice and the light as well.

A wonderful healthy young foal here Rachel, and a good example of just how brick red their new coats are.
The dark mid tones and blacks look a tad flat and would try for a slight CCWR.

Rachel, I think the head and neck of the foal looks good but I get the impression the rest of the image is a little overexposed to me.

Hi Rachel -- Nice to get them in the clean settings and isolated. Nice details and colours here. You have handled the HLS well especially on the cheek and back portion . Nice and simple. TFS !

Hi Rachel good looking foal ....color and tone are nice , just a tiny bit of mid tone in the red channel for a bit more depth .
Not much you can do about the shooting angle , just wish you had a lower angle to isolate the foal better from FG and BG .

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. We were out of the vehicle for a bush break/stretch and then noticed the zebras approaching. We didn't want to spook them, especially with the youngster so kept the vehicle between us and them and I shot this over the front of the vehicle.
Thanks again,
Rachel

I agree Andreas, it still has that slight down angle..
I shot this over the front of the vehicle.
As you were on foot you could have been much lower I feel Rachel, kneeling, definitely the POV would have been better as you may have been at eye level, but I'm guessing you were using the hood/bonnet as a rest for the 300? A Channel curves for the light/HL's would help the slightly brighter tones. Why f/5?

Hi Rachel, have never seen so young, so nice to know the color variation. As noted by others, nicely captured image of an uncommon subject. TFS.

Thanks Steve and Jay. I should have also said that I was avoiding the road that was between us and yes, Steve, I think I did use the hood of the vehicle. F5 because I was far enough away and the zebra was parallel enough to the sensor that I didn't need more dof.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Interesting looks more slightly to the right and not directly facing you, head on, but... still would have gone f5.6.
