Little big man

An image I took a while ago. The young rhino was moving with it's mom to a feeding area and the opportunity happened with mom just to the right and out of the frame.

Sharp as all get out and amazing light. As is, I would add just a bit of canvas to the top. Next time you aare struggling to fit an animal in the horizontal frame, think vertical! IAC, a real beauty.

later and love, artie

Just the tightness in frame This is one gorgeous image !!!!! Big Congrats !!!

Great shot, SOO CUTE!!! With a bit more room this would have been killer IMO. Great job!

[DanWalters]

Beautiful shot! Love the light and the comp. Needs just a little more space around the subject.

[D. Robert Franz]

Great light, cute subject, and very sharp. I'm with Artie on the image being a little tight in the horizontal format.

[Judd Patterson]

Wow, what a stunner! This little rhino is sure cute and with a little extra room to roam, will be a top-notch image! Nicely done Geurt.

Hey Geurt,

Good to see you here. Excellent photograph you have here. My only nit would be the composition...the shadow draws my attention and I'm just curious how this would have been if you would have included the complete shadow and less empty space on the right.

Hi Geurt,

Great picture in a very good light.

In Pilanesberg ? I have some pictures of a similar baby rhino in Pilanesberg.

Thanks for the c&c's.

Jasper, directly to the right was the female rhino and to the left a tree and rock that did not contribute to the composition.

Jean-Philippe, no, taken at a nature reserve just outside Pretoria, a place called Rietvlei Dam.


Cheers

Amazing! The only nit is the one mentioned several times, the tightness of the top of the frame. Still a killer image though!

[Eric Landsberg]

Well done.

[Jacqui Hendry]
