 Taken in the Kruger National Park. Zebra rolling in the dry winter dust. A seldom seen antic as they are very vulnerable to predators in this position. Waited at least 1/2 an hour in the hot car (car off, aircon off) for her to roll.

A very cute capture and like your notes say, patience did pay off getting this pose. Being in the Kruger obviously limited you to the angles you could get. The single biggest handicap for any photographer... sitting in a car. You did well to get this pose and angle on it. Congrats

I'm not sure how to react. Another Zebra? Did you honestly think there'd be none?
You're comment is neither photographically helpful nor complimentary to the other 6 that you didn't like.
7 Zebra shots out of 123 images. 5.7%. 3 of those were from DPC'ers who live in Africa...
Hardly something to get "Yawn, Another" and "another" comments on each one of them bar Rian's fab shot.
