Water = Fun

Very late in the day, these bulls entered this small pond for a drink and a bit of play. Given the lack of color, I chose BW to put the emphasis on the textures and poses of the animals. Nikon D 500 and 80-400 lens at 1/250, f/6.3 and ISO 4000. Richard

Look's like the elephants are having a great time.  I really like the choice of using a black and white  I think it helps concentrate the attention on the elephants wet and wrinkly hide.

Richard,
Elephants love water!
This certainly a different take!

I really appreciate the quality of your black and white processing.  My only nagging wish if for a touch more room on our right...but there might have been reasons you couldn't go that far.  Fine dynamic poses.
