A lioness in the prime of her life stalks a herd of wildebeest in the Mara Triangle, Kenya, during the recent photographic safari that I hosted. Moments later, she took down a youngster not far from our position.

B/W was an excellent choice for this high key image, which shows this beautiful cat at her work. Simply gorgeous.

There's something about a lioness in grass that just works for high key. Nice choice with the processing, Morkel.

The monochrome conversion just makes this one Morkel. Simplicity and elegance.

Nice BW conversion. It really illustrates how well camouflaged these hunters are! Love the intensity!
