Another great series.Love the composition of the first photo. I also like the BW conversions of elephant pictures. On my monitor elephant pictures appear to be little darker and recovering some shadow details in PP may have enhance the picture. Just my humble opinion.
I am enjoying all your Africa pictures and keep posting more.

Lovely! I love number 6....I like the framing of this one

I must agree that the B&W ones slightly dark on my monitor.

Susan, I really like these, especially the B&W elephants, and I appreciate the klipspringers because I know how shy they can be. Regarding #4, I may be wrong, but those look like eland and not roan antelope to me, although it's hard to be certain with just the silhouettes. But I think roan have curved horns.

You keep posting these pictures and making me anxious for my next Africa trip!

Beautiful shots Sue, and I like how you've cropped them for each composition. You might want to put a "frisky" warning on the elephants touching shot

Susan -
Always an enjoyable viewing to see what exotic locale you are photographing at. It's also nice that you throw in "interpretive" shots/crop like #3 (Touching) to go along with the more traditional framing of shots.

Susan,

Very nice series. I agree with Chris that the 2 labled as Raon are, in fact, female eland. the hump, the shape of the horns, and the tuft on the chest are characteristic of eland.

Great series. I'm usually not a fan of B&W, but these look excellent.

Very beautiful work Sue, you never fail to impress. You really captured the intimacy (and anger - #10) of the animals. I think "Parade" and "Touching" are my favorites. Excellent work.
