Here's another shot from Addo National Park in South Africa but the year before last.  This is full frame, I liked this image because it shows the African savanna well.

A lovely zebrascape Nate!

The 'pony in pyjamas' just pops so beautifully from the classic savannah view. A fine image as always from you.

The softer lighting seems to reduce the contrast of the black and white stripes on the zebra's body, making it a much more enjoyable image to view, in my opinion.

Nice soft light and pleasing scene, Nate. This must be from the southern section of Addo, which is more "savanna" open plains compared to the thickets up north?
