buffalo

Interestingly enough, all the safari guides say that the buffalo is the animal they would least like to come across if on foot, apparently they can turn quite nasty!

So, we're still in the Sikumi concession, western Zimbabwe, and this herd of buffalo were grazing peacefully by the side of the road. I thought a B&W treatment might be right...

@tracywilliams Tracy, that is so kind, and made me smile! Thanks for the follow, I'll repay the compliment... :-)

Beutiful shot....great choice black and white. suits the contrast between the pale grasses and the buffalo.

[Paul Jones]

Peter, this is just brilliant. I love b&w as you know and I really like the way the buffalo are hidden giving it a slightly mysterious feel. Easily a FAV for me.

[Danny G.]

This is a great capture, I like how they are mostly hidden by the tall grass and the b&w processing is superb

[8yearson]

Great point of view! B & w is perfect for this shot!

[Fanny Brogden]

Almost looks like a cave painting, lovely pov terrific!

[Anoeska van Rijsbergen]

I think the colored version of this one will be beautiful too, but the b&w makes it very interesting.

I agree, this is special. There's an air of mystery about it, which probably suits the buffalo.

[Peter H]

@_amyd_ Amy, thank you so much.

[Caryn]

Really like this in b&w.

[Kirsty Alexandra]

This is really cool. The b&w is slightly unusual but works so well with all of the grass and the partially hidden buffalo.

[Michel Dumas]

Very nice.

[Shannon]

This is very nice, it looks like a pen & ink drawing.
