Ha, if only. I'm not grabbed by the image but it is a nice catch of interaction. The dark areas top of frame could be cropped or cloned out.

Paul.
Thanks for your comment, I agree the top needs a bit removed.

Why the 1600 ISO, Ken? Were you on auto ISO?

Ajit,
As far as I recall I had the high ISO set,I rarely if ever knowingly use auto, I was still testing the 1DX and wanted high shutter speeds as prior to this shot the Zebras were running about

Nice interaction, don't know if there is enough resolution to do an extreme crop with just the heads? The lines nad textures could be pretty interesting.
