I got this shot of a Hartmann's zebra when I went to search for the Amur leopard cub.

Yesterday we went to the exhibition of International Wildlife Photographer of the Year. One photographer had camped for 7 days outside the den of an Amur leopard and was rewarded by a shot of her and her two cubs. There are now only 14-20 adult Amur leopards left in the wild.

I guess I'll go back to Marwell Zoo and have a bit more patience to stand outside the Amur leopard's den there. But the cub only comes out once or twice a day - and I'm not really a patient photographer.
Have you tried editing this photo in b&w?

Lovely headshot. I wonder why zebras have upright manes, unlike other equines.

And it's very distressing to learn those facts about Amur leopards.

Actually I did think of that as I posted it. Will have a go and flag it up to you if I post it. Which camera do you use, Trisha? Could not find the details on your pic info - you get some cracking shots with it.

Do Hazel! Love a black and white zebra. I use a Nikon D610. Replaced my old trusty D90 when Archie dropped it around April. Wonder why my details don't show??

I think there's been a problem with EXIF etc info - for about a week mine went missing and I had done nothing different. Thanks for info re camera.

Brilliant close up. You did so well to get this zebra with his nose above the ground. Every one I have seen has been so busy grazing. Maybe I just spotted them at the wrong time of day.

@quietpurplehaze Love this guy and I definitely like the color best. The subject is already in b&w, for me the green behind him adds interest and contrast.

Stunning contrasts of stripes...no blurring there at all!
