A lone Zebra foal searches for its mother amid the throng of the herds of Wildebeest en route to the Mara river during the Great Migration. I can't wait to return at the end of September!

Very beautiful Morkel, maybe a tad bit of darkening of the background to help the baby zebra stand out a bit more, I think that would help make it nearly perfect. Btw the name, is it by any chance a play on the movie Lost in Translation?

A hazardous time for youngsters and adults, a thought provoking image Morkel!

Very poignant... the b/w conversion makes it even more so. I especially like the high key treatment, viewed against the shadow box.
