Hi Aysegul.
A nice picture. A great flokk of zebras and it looks like there are some horned animals there as well, Gnu's maybe?
I Like the composition and the colors, although it is very bright ( pretty hard to get shots in serengeti without a glaring sun :) ).
I think it is a shame that you cropped a little of the big tree. It would be better if you cropped it more or had the whole tree in the shot.

Hehe, a lot of zebras! A like the title and the picture is another beautiful documentation of your travel to the Serengeti. Lovely acacia tree sample that you got here to enrich your composition. It seems that the zebras got a little bit nervous with your approaching. Some of them look quite suspiscious into your lenses.
Kind Regards, Peter

Amazing shots Aysegul...

I love these shots from the plains of Africa. My family used to live in South Africa when I was a very young- and I look forward to the day I can return with my camera. In the meantime- I'll have to just watch your shots in envy!

Excellent sharpness, colors, levels, and compositions.

Merhaba Aysegul,

tebrikler,

Hi!
It's a classical safari shot, well executed and composed, I must admit I like it although it is not my cup of tea (yet!)

Bu güzel vahşi yaşam fotoğrafında kadrajlama çok hoş. Tebrikler

Bonjour Aysegul,
Ce que j'aurai aimé faire ce voyage, toutes tes photos de Tanzanie sont superbes. J'ai fait mon premier voyage en Afrique au mois d'août dernier et j'ai beaucoup aimé voir tous ces animaux dans leur habitat naturel.
Sur cette photo, c'est vraiment un énorme troupeau. Superbe prise de vue des zèbres sous un acacia (je crois), la montagne au loin. Très belle couleur du ciel.
C'est un très joli cliché.
Amicalement.
Martine

I have just been browsing your Tanzania and Kenya photos, Aysegul, and I like this one the best. I noted your 'Endless Plain' zebras shot had more points, but I like this one much better because these trees give the shot much more of an 'African plains' feel and the old rule-of-thirds (or close enough) works so well in this composition. In the other one the zebras all look like they have stopped to peer at a tourist bus, but in this one everything looks more natural and there are not so many zebras looking at the photographer. Cheers . . . David

Marvelous photo, you have lots of them here on TE, this is only one of them. Good POV, very interesting view, light, colors and subject

Hi,

Serengeti at one of it's better moments! Great colors in this photo! I like it that you "brought" the tree in the picture, it gives the picture more "life".

Patric
