During one of my recent safaris in Kaziranga NP, India. A massive one-horned rhino decided to charge our safari jeep. I managed to get some shots as the driver pulled away.
Details:
7D/70-200 2.8 IS@85mm/ ISO 250 f4 SS1/1000

I know its a bit tight but the excitement was too overwhelming to bother about camera settings

You said it right Saurav. It is all about it.

Saurav,

What a moment for you, it was quite close:bg3:
Under the circumstances of panic and a moving vehicle this is remarkably good, not technically perfect, but who cares (not me).

It is the moment that counts:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Saurav,
Under the circumstances you have done well. I have also been chased by a rhino and it is amazing how fast a vehicle can go in reverse.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes,
Mark.

you certainly did well to frame this without the rhino touching the borders top and bottom. With the direction of his charge I prefer more space at the bottom than on top, so at least you are tighter on top than at the bottom...:t3...

Have you considered a total portrait crop? In other words - go tighter from LHS and RHS??
