    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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
