Excellent action shot, the poses are full of energy, and I especially like the face of the zebra on the left. Just wonderful.

Superb timing on this shot with nice control of the exposure, especially in the shadow areas of the skin where it is rippled. ((7))

I think this is a great capture. The focus and DOF look just about perfect to me adn the timing is perfect...10

Fine action/animal capture. Did you try upping the yellow component on the grass a hair? It seems a little flat to me, color-wise.

wow, this is truly a unique capture. excellent work. i love the juxtaposition of the intense action in your subject with the peaceful ambivalence in the background. i hope this is not being overlooked in this monster challenge, and that it is getting the attention it deserves. good luck here, and in the challenges yet to come!

Awesome picture! I love taking pictures of wildlife, and I'd kill to have a picture like this in my collection! Good luck.

This is a wonderful capture of a great moment and from that perspective, as a wildlife addict, I find it both charming and fascinating. Photographically I think the impact is marred by the gazelles just behind which muddy the lines a little too much. I appreciate fully that, one a safari holiday, one doesn't often have the luxury that wildlife photographers have of moving to a better position.

nasty zebras, nice action shot.

I love the way the (gazelles?) in the background aren't bothered by the zebra action at all.

Very nice capture. I kind of wish the grazing animals in the background were a bit more blurred. They distract a bit as I find that the zebras actually act as a frame for them, directing my eye right toward them.

This is great. Not a helpful comment, just a compliment!

The picture will stand out if you crop the top part a little part.

It's a fine moment. I would reall really have taken the clone tool to the gazelles (?) behind the zebra however - they are absolutely a distraction, and i cannot see that they help the shot any, particularly being so partially visible.

Well captured here - would have perhaps liked a closer crop - squareish - as it is the details of the zebras are a little hard to make out, I just feel that some of that space at the top is a little wasted. But still, great capture.
