Africa: Black an White

1. On your blog post your reactions to the power point...

I'm not usually a big fan of photography of animals, but I actually really liked these photos. It makes me wonder if he set these photos up or if he just went out into the wild and found the animals in those positions. I love them even more in black and white. The angles are perfect and he used so many photo compositions.
