Seeing these enabled me to complete a "full" set of the three recognized
sub-species of Zebra :smile:
Although why there are only three is beyond me :confused:

The larger this is seen, the better it looks. Beautiful light with good open shots of both. With that much cover, it could have been much worse. As is, the background only adds interest. :toast:

Very interesting light on these guys. It's as if they are surrounded by a halo. I also like the way they are looking at you. Well done.

Those stripes really stand out well, Ken. The lighting adds nicely to the two zebras and helps set them off from the background. I especially like the pose, with those two sets of ears pointed right at you.
