A lone bull dines out by kicking & jabbing on the succulent new runners/shoots of grass on the beautiful rolling plains that is Loisaba- Northern Kenya.

Nikon D5 Nikkor 80-400 AF-S 1/1250s f/6.3 ISO280 @ 400mm. Bean bag from front pax seat, slight lower FG crop. Curve, levels, TK adj, mono conversion with a slight warm tone in ACR & PS CC'15.

Cheers

Dear Marc:

This is a beautiful image.  The composition and black and white treatment 
really work well in my view.  

Best Regards,

Roman  :D

A beautiful and very evocative image Marc, the wider view is the perfect showcase for this solitary bull and the b/w conversion captures the mood so well!

I really like this, a very striking image. The ele small in the frame emphasizes the vastness of the landscape. Good texture/definition in the clouds helps to make this work. I think the b/w conversion also helps to highlight the light dust cloud and simplify the scene, which is what makes this a standout. Excellent work.
