Zebra Camouflage Photo

Photographer’s Note

Zebras use their stripes to confuse predators by huddling together and alternating the direction they face in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.

Update: Because this was my first post, I did not have a good handle on how to downsize my photos effectively. I have re-edited the original image to be a bit bigger than my original post and to address the critiques the first post received. Most notably, the 'heads' on the left with the bodies chopped off were cropped.

Hi Tracey. Really nice composition and presentation. You've converted from film very effectively. I love these animals - though their camouflage only works at dusk and dawn (when shadows are longest and it's prime hunting time). Kind regards, Paul.
