Zebra crossing

The pictures in this category are selected to show action and interest value as much as aesthetic appeal.

Capturing a stampeding herd of plains zebra in the Serengeti for his winning image took careful planning and an understanding of the animals’ behaviour. Setting up a remote camera at the watering hole, Anup suspected the animals would sense that something was different and flee the scene.
