[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Thank you very much for yesterday's received critiques.
Could not write my critiques due to circumstances.
Today the image shows the same two Burchell's zebras I uploaded yesterday and if I'm not mistaken there is at least one more image of them in my Kruger National Park travelogue.
I was really privileged here as these two let me be a bit a witness from their interactions for a long time. Often impalas and zebras just walk away.
Apparently they had a lot of fun. I wondered and still wonder what kind of relationship they had; offspring or courting behavior,...??
Stayed there for a long time and took many images.
Info about this species you can find through visiting the Burchell's zebra images in my Kruger National Park travelogue.
Thanks for looking...

Very nice poses you have captured here.
I'm not sure what they're doing either! :-)
Super-sharp with impeccable clarity.
Excellent ground-level POV and a superb composition.
Nice lighting.
Very, very well done,
Joe

hello Annick

if i compare this shot with your last posting i love much more
this one because of the point of view (goût personnel),
excellent POV, i love the horizontal framing, excellent luminosity
of the image and density of the colours, i love the hard density
of the colours, excellent sharpness and details, TFS

Asbed

Wonderful interaction Annick... I especially like the curl of the tail. I always enjoy discovering a "pearl" in your images that was not noticed at first . Nice work

Hi Annick,
I would say that the one on the right is an offspring as his manes and back are still a bit brown witch is typical for young zebras.
You did not seem to have a lot of sun when you where there because I don't see any shadows or strong light contrasts.
These are beautiful, healthy animals and your photo shows a nice daily life scene.

A very pretty composition, good capture Annick!!!
Salut, Ferran

Hello Annick
