Under a BIG Sky

Captured this image of two wildebeest walking on the vast plains of Masai Mara last September. Chose to convert it to monochrome for the drama in the sky and overall visual impact that was not as good in color.

EOS 1Dx - EF200-400mm f4.0L IS USM - 1/3200sec @ f8 - 361mm - ISO 400

Excellent Mario, the choice of wide angle and B/W are are most impactful. Great photo. Richard

It suits B&W so well, very nicely executed!
If you have some room at the top, wouldn't like to cut the LHS cloud.

Hi Mario,

I like both the positioning and the relative size of the subjects in the frame. Thinking this would make an excellent print...

Cheers...

Brad
