Stunning Image!
Congratulations, this has fantastic atmosphere with the dark and dusty background and the sepia tone.
The Zebra stripes have good contrasting angles and the pose is well captured.
Great capture I would be overjoyed to have achieved myself.

Beautiful!
Just a beautifull picture! The dust that sourrounds the horses makes it look dreamlike and make a stunning atmosphere. The dusty atmosphere reminds me of some of Nick Brandts pictures.

Thanks
You have really caused a lot of trouble for all of us amateur picture takers. The iconic shot of a zebra is required for every nature photographer who wants to be taken seriously. It used to be as simple as heading to the local zoo and raising our camera up to snap a couple of frames of the local beasts. We print them on nice paper hang them on the wall and everybody thinks we are pros. Now what are we supposed to do?
Great shot, really makes us all work that much harder.

Excelente toma, interesante, con gran habilidad en el manejo de la luz y los tonos, saludos !
