Stunning catpure Marietha/Susan. The reflections of the zebras in the water is just way cool and the birds in motion are amazing. Excellent post and so glad you shared it.

No problem with the darkness for me as the reflections more than make up for it and make this a unique capture...another winner from mom's capable hands...thanks for sharing.:Pat.

Marietha, this is awesome. I was going to suggest ways to bring out the zebras, but I think you called it right...leave it as is. Excellent work.

The darkness in the thumbnail gives way to a beautiful sunset coloring once viewed full screen. The "pinkish" water color and hind quarters of the zebras reflecting the sunset sky is uniquely outstanding. Once again ... a lovely posting on this tour.

It is unusual, the top part in twilight light and the water catching all the warmth of the sunset. It is striking and I love seeing zebras in that light. Thank you Susan & Marietha. :)

Wait a minute. Am I missing something all along? Do I understand that your Mother has been taking all of these shots? Well shucky darn, buy her her own camera, sign her up on Cades and let'er rip. She's good. "Hi Mom. Hey, your good with a camera". Sheesh! Moms are something else.

Terrific capture. Really like how the zebras are isolated in the reflection while they're somewhat camouflaged by the rocks.
