[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sorry for not posting but I have been busy in this festive period,

The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchelli), also known as the Common Zebra or the Burchell's Zebra, is the most common and geographically widespread form of zebra, once being found from the south of Ethiopia right through east Africa as far south as Angola and eastern South Africa. The Plains Zebra is much less numerous than it once was, because of human activities such as hunting it for its meat and hide, as well as encroachment on much of its former habitat, but it remains common in game reserves.

Thanks,

Nick :-)

Hi Nick,
A nice close up at this Plains Zebra. POV and composition are great. I have the feeling that there is a blue tint in this picture. TFS,
JC

Hi Nick.
Despite the strong sunlight you managed to get very well exposed shot of the beautiful animal. I like excellent sharpness of the image natural colours, exact composition of the shot. You managed even to reflect the state of mood of the zebra. My compliments and TFS.
