New images from Tanzania

I haven't had all that much time to process my images from Tanzania, but I had a few minutes this afternoon to process just a few images from an afternoon of shooting in the Serengeti. I am eager to hear what people think about these new images, as I am working on a black and white portfolio that has a more interpretive look on my safari images.

It is the first time I can really appreciate the graphic quality that the technique can bring. The Light/dark/light effect with the light grass in the foreground adds a unique dimension. Favourites? 4 & 5.

My favorites then are #1 and #2 because they're the most balanced compositionally and the most dynamic (to my eye). In #1, the elephants are perfectly lined up and are clearly moving across the image, almost like a frame from a movie. In #2, two of the elephants look like they are swaying in the wind because of their partially lifted legs.

That IR sky and the expance of the land with the subjects spaced.Where did you have your camera converted? Any advice for someone who want to have it done?
