The big cats of Africa are so magnificent, they need no introduction, no description, I even stripped the images of all but monochromatic colors in most cases simply to let the subjects in all their magnificence speak for themselves…

I didn’t stop at Simba (the lion), I have some B&W images of Cheetah and Leopard too. Stay tuned.






I wonder why you were using a 500MM.VR ..LOL
While there are hundreds of photos posted of cats from Africa, I especially enjoyed your choices to post. You captured them in emotional content or story telling in a wonderful way.
Thanks.
