Mammals tend to blend in with their surrounds, whether it is by colour or by confusing a predator's vision with a pattern that breaks up their outline - especially in a herd like zebras. Here are some of my favourite images taken in November 2024. All in rich monochrome to throw away the colour and focus on texture and contrast. This one of a family of Elephants even got me an honourable mention in the 2025 International Photography Awards.   Well chuffed!
