Hello Serge,
I love these animals and it's nice seeing one resting so peacefully in the grass - you surely wouldn't get such a nice close capture in the wild. I like the low POV the fine sharp focus and the beautiful colours.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hello Sergei,
very lovely view in good colour contrast. The green gives a good combination to the striped zebra. The position is so special too.
Excellent view in a nice and simple presentation.

Regards,
Foozi

Nice pic of the zebra laying down.
