Highly commended – Zebra drinking – While watching a small herd of Zebra approaching the waterhole in the Umfolozi/Hluhluwe Game reserve, I got my camera ready. I was hoping to get some nice still photographs of them drinking from the pool. Two zebra stayed behind a few meters from the water, while the rest nervously approached the water.
I started shooting as soon as they started to drink. They would raise their heads alternately, while I was waiting for them to be perfectly aligned and all drinking.
