wild nature 0 Posted February 6, 2006 During the migration, many zebras lag behind and at times they stop at water holes to eat and drink. In this case, we found several hundred zebras feeding in a tall-grass sabana of the Serengeti near Seronera. They seemed all too busy to mind our presence and I was able to catch them all with their heads down feeding. It was a lucky shot since there is always one or two looking up and around for possible predators, specially in this tall grass sabana. Link to comment
gungajim 75 Posted February 6, 2006 Great ass shot! Have you tried doing a version that crops out all the sky and greenery and perhaps even a tiny slice of the upper grasses? Link to comment
wild nature 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Hi Jim: Thanks for your comment. Yes, I have tried the cropped version. I included the ski on purpose to show a sense of space and location (grassy sabana with the hills, typical of the Serengeti). The cropped version is just above the tree that you see in the horizon. I wanted to include the tree and show the end of the sabana. The tree gives a sense of distance as well. Every body that sees this picture always makes a comment on the "cropped" vs. "no Cropping" and it is splitted 50/50. I will be interested what others think. Thanks again. Cesar. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 7, 2006 I guess it depends on what you are going for with the crop - artsy (without sky and top of hills) or more documentary (with complete surroundings). I like both. Interesting shot of zebra butts! Link to comment
sarahunderhill 1 Posted February 11, 2006 This is great! I agree w/ Kim on the crop- you could go either way. Link to comment
