    These two foals were separated from the parents who were close by. I like their gangly legs, and couldnt have been that old. Taken in a nature reserve close to my house last year.

    Hi Stuart,
    I like your choice of pano here. I also like the fact that the right hand zebra has its head down. For me it creates a nice undulating line of repetition of mane, back, and rump. Flowers coming out of the back would be less noticeable if there were more of them in the BG, could go either way with keeping or removing. Image looks just a tiny bit cool to me, but I'll trust your judgement on conditions.

    Nice symmetry here Stuart, these guys appear to be only a few days old, so well done to get them away from their protective mothers.
    You're really doing it tough with nature so close to home.:p

    Well done bro. Like the tight comp and the colors. Did you clone anything between the legs of the front foal or is it something OOF there?

    Thanks a stack guys.

    Steve, I agree the flowers could go either way, thats why I left them. I also agree after you pointing it out, this could go a little warmer.

    Akos, Didnt touch the area mentioned. It looks like hoof prints. There's an area between the legs of the back foal too.

    Super image Stu. Lovely sharp detail, great comp and colours. I like the bits of purple of the flowers and would leave them there. Such endearing subjects.:)

    Marvelous image, the only thing I would question is the age of the Zebra, as there are no umbilical cords I would suspect there are more than a few days old. Not that this distracts in anyway!
