Photographers are artists, they capture and bring emotion in the motions of life. - Unarine Ramaru

This week I have tried to focus on the less obvious and more abstract side to wildlife photography. I have concentrated on bringing you shapes, textures and interesting compositions that tell a different kind of story. I hope you all enjoy this week’s selection of wildlife in monochrome...

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and elephants are full of soul.

Grooming is meticulous work, and the big cats spend a lot of time keeping up appearances.

Texture is something you feel.

There is a lot of expression shown from a cat’s tail.

A lion in its environment is always vigilant.

These feet were made for walking.

The lifeline of Africa’s largest land mammal. Without it, life would prove near impossible.

Precision tools of a superior huntress.

Cleanliness is Godliness. A very abstract look of an ostrich preening its feathers.

A sleeping lion is not the most interesting thing in the world, until you start to look deeper.
