During an earlier trip to Masai Mara, we caught up with this huge pride of Lions just waking up from their afternoon siesta.
This is the original photograph of the earlier Lioness which had been converted to Black & White.
There were various comments of Lions looking better in their natural colours.
I guess Black & White only appeals to selected people who have tasted B&W prints from the Film days gone by.

This is an experiment of B & W Filters which I have never used before.

This is one of the three Cheetah brothers seen in Masai Mara.
Cheetah brothers normally form a coalition and stay together for life. The advantage of numbers are great and can easily take down bigger prey like Wildbeest and Impala. Whilst the lone female would rather go for a Thompson's gazelle which is smaller and more manageable.

Photographed in the early morning light in Lake Nakuru National Park.

The Red-billed Oxpecker seems to be passing a private message into the Buffalo's ears.
