[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I got lucky with this shot while on safari. They are apparently showing affection for the other zebra by allowing and resting their heads on each other. I took it on a semi cloudy day and although they aren't prestine white, which they weren't, I like the color balance between them and the background.

This is an amazing shot. I've never seen anything like it with zebras. I think the crop is effective as it makes you focus on what they are doing and fills the shot with stripes. However a little part of me wants to see their feet or I guess I should say hooves. :) I also think it's a shame the rump of the zebra on the right got cut off. The picture could have a little more clarity, but I'm guessing that you were zoomed in. All in all I really like it!

que linda foto!!!! me encanta, es muy romantica!!
