This taken in Feb of 2011 in northern Tanzania near the Nudtu Safri Lodge. A small swamp draws herds of zebra and wildebeest in for a drink. They pretty much line up and file in and out of the water. More impressive to be there with all the braying and grunting. Motion and sounds makes for good video scene.
Not convinced the composition here is so good, the zebras lined up nice but everyone of the 20 or so wildebeest are turned away!!! This image a crop some from all sides of original. Nikon D40x, 18-200 lens at 200, f8, 1/1000 and ISO 360. Image has lots of detail which requires a larger file size than the 250K limit here, so IQ suffers a bit from that compression.
