Quenching their thirst in Ngorongoro crater. Early AM light. Flamingos in BG. Cropped from the bottom. My nit is the OOF zebras on the extreme right

Four of a kind! And wow, what a background of Flamingos! OutSTANDing! I feel like I'm there.

Here's an alternate color balance suggestion that seems to make the image "pop" a little more, IMO. Basically, color balance Shadows to cyan and blue, Midtones a little to cyan, Highlights a little to blue. I admit, it kind of makes the blue in the water borderline unnatural.

Thanks for sharing this fine image!

Very nice, especially with the black and white zebras contrasting against the blues, greens and pinks.

Nice one Jim. I prefer your original, has that nice warm African light

The OOF zebra's are not really a problem as its very difficult to get your subjects to stand in the right place

Great shot. Nice depth with the flamingoes in the background. All of those stripes sure run together- no doubt its a bit confusing to a hungy lion also.

Nice shot Jim. The flamingos in the BG are cool. Love these Zebras. They are lined up so perfectly.
