Zebras at waterhole

A herd of Burchell´s zebras nervously breaks from drinking as one of their group is starled by an imagined danger, perhaps nothing more than a bird passing overhead in a waterhole in Etosha, Namibia.

This is a totally outstanding picture. I LOVE the way you catch the action. The waterdrops around the animals are unique.

Regards,
Hanne

Ah, Xavier, you are back on form with this one! Sensational action and sense of being there in your use of exposure and focus. I always admire your work and look forward to seeing it, but this one is very special. Wonderful!

Great action shot of all these animals. Love the water spray. Really nice light and frame filing action.
