[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and scientific value. With more than two million wildebeest, half a million Thomson's gazelle, and a quarter of a million zebra, it has the greatest concentration of plains game in Africa. The wildebeest and zebra moreover form the star cast of a unique spectacular - the annual Serengeti migration.

The name 'Serengeti' comes from the Maasai language and appropriately means an 'endless plain'. The National Park, with an area of 12,950 square kilometres, is as big as Northern Ireland, but its ecosystem, which includes the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Maswa Game Reserve and the Maasai Mara Game reserve (in Kenya), is roughly the size of Kuwait. It lies between the shores of Lake Victoria in the west, Lake Eyasi in the south, and the Great Rift Valley to the east. As such, it offers the most complex and least disturbed ecosystem on earth.

Nice photo. I like the way you framed the zebras between the trees, this makes for interesting composition. I wish you had used a higher f stop and got the back ground in focus as well (just my taste).
Thanks,
Asa

Nice job!

Hi,
A nice play with the zebras. It creates good graphic lines.
I like the DOF too.
Very nice job,

Hi Aysegul,

Özellikle arka plan şahane olmuş, elinize sağlık. Zebraların meraklı bakışlarını da çok iyi yakalanmışsınız.
