'What a lot of Bull...'
Something different I guess, only as I am currently doing some stuff on Botswana. Also, for Eric Weight, this is what I thought might be more suited for your swan (ducking) image, colour wise? :wavey:

Boro river, Okavango Delta

Another nice Buffalo image following on David Sewell's recent upload. They really are suited to this treatment. Nice work.

Apologies to David Sewell, I had missed his posting and if I had seen it I would have not posted this one :wavey:

Hi Stephen

Some might say 'great minds think alike' :biggrin:

Hi Stephen,
Doesn't this show up all the different textures well. A face full of character that might just be another photo of a buffalo if it was in colour. The more I look, the more I like the way that despite (or maybe because?) being in B&W details as fine as the whiskers around his nose stand out. I think that the flowers in the fg add to it as well. Really nice.
thanks for your time btw.

Pretty good B&w treatment. Nice pose and overall composition.
