p.1 #1 · Zebras 147, Lions 0

Zebras are so much fun to photograph, particularly when they are being chased by lions or unexpectedly taking a swim in a pond. These guys were photographed in Tanzania in late October. Comments and critique are welcome! (Warning: No comments about crocodiles allowed.)

Susan, I really like all of these, but #6 is my favorite. I have seen a lot of zebra pictures, but that one is a real standout to me. Congratulations on a really special, unique shot.

Well done. I think #s 1 and 6 are particulary good. Were you using the 500mm for these?

Well, thanks to all for the nice comments that didn't focus on crocodiles!! Seriously, thanks everyone - zebras are great fun, and I'm glad that a few of these worked.
