Greetings from the Critique Club
Yes, this critique is only about 16 months late, but better late than never :-)
This pic has many elements that both help and detract from the subject. The colours and soft lighting are fantastic and the subject matter intriguing, and you have near-perfect reflections in the water. This should be close to the top of the pile as voters here tend to like the exotic species in their own habitat as opposed to an obvious zoo.
But, you've probably already seen the numerous comments saying that the car in the background, with those bright red taillights, is a HUGE distraction. It gives a sadly modern/urban feel to the shot and takes away from those lovely zebras. I did some informal hand-cropping and had you isolated that group of three zebras at the front, cropping out below those awful taillights so we see only the scenery, the zebras and their diminishing reflections, you could have had a top ten image.
I do hope you're still shooting, and hope that this critique may help lure you back to DPC.
