    Ben, Very nice reflection and I like the grouping. Would rather not have the one and a half zebras on the left (the one in the shadow is a bit of a distraction to me). I feel that the strongest part of the image is the 3 brightest zebra. Very nice image though. TFS.

    Ben,

    Getting Zebra to stand tidily is next to impossible and not long ago totally impossible on the Boteti as it was not there!

    I like the light on them and the simplistic BG. The 2 in the shade is unfortunate as mentioned. I find the image a tad dark overall and a levels adjustment will add some "pop" IMHO.

    It was quite late in the evening, the 2 on the right were not in the shade, they had a much darker colour than the others. Thanks for the comments.

    My comment was responding to the comment posted by Hilary, regarding the positioning of the Zebra, which I thought would be OK, if this is not a comment on the image then I am deeply sorry!
    As to the image I also find it a little dark, but given that it was taken late evening, perhaps that is how it looked

    No worries - perhaps it'll be better to just "quote" the statement you are responding to, as it seemed to be a "random" comment on first glance
