Tim, this picture is more than a 1000 words. The tension in the zebra herd is palpable.
From the photographer's perspective, I love the composition, light and movement throughout the image. The ecologist in me is focused on all the interactions. I can see the zebra posturing to protect the herd while the dogs are looking for a way to initiate some movement so they can focus on a straggler.
fantastic shot and story in this one!

So much to like about this photo, the action in the movement by the dogs, the power from the lead zebra...and the stunning background scene that you captured

That's some amazing drama you've captured Tim! The lead zebra looks like it's on steroids, no wonder the dogs chose something a bit easier.
Cheers,

Thank you very much Harry. I was impressed with the aggressiveness of the zebra.

Nice work for the PP on this one in the shade Tim. I like all the layers from dogs to zebras to landscape The light is neat in this shot.

Thank you Karl! It was difficult going between watching and photographing. I didn't want to miss any of the action either way
Great light and great shot. I like the presentation with the more panoramic crop. The gradation of colours works very well. My only critique would be there is some odd horizontal vignetting almost along the blue sky on the top of the image. Not sure what that is from? Thanks for sharing.
Can only image how hard that was with all the action going on.
