Hi Scott, greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, what to say from such a photo? It was one of the 10's I gave, it is such a stop-motion photo, you conveyed in a single frame the movement of the zebra, just like we were there!

The score is excellent and top 10 in such a challenge is great.

It's hard to evaluate your photo, because there isn't anything that I could say that was not nitpicking.
Excellent bokeh, the green tones really bring out the monochrome of the zebra, there's just a all so slight tilt that I think could be straightened out, but it doesn't impact the overall photo.

Great contrast, saturation and detail.
The almost square crop was also a good choice, as you focused people's attention on the subject at hand.

Great wildlife photo, and great placing!!
Congrats!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

Nice playful moment that you captured. The Blue and green BG nicely sets off the Zebra.

Very nicely captured! He really looks like he's having fun, and I have to admit I've not seen the underside of a zebra before - interesting how the stripes come together!
