You captured a very real moment. I can almost feel the excitement of seeing a rhino moving through the grasses. You have the critical element of the eye in the clear and sharp.

Wonderful photo, The eye is clear and the foliage adds interest.
Very well done.

Agree with above, well done.

Hi Andreas, if this is not FF and you have rooimage, would move the whole crop to the right by about an inch, just a little too close I feel, nose to trim. like the eye contact as mentioned, just be careful of the 'detail extraction' tool.

Look forward to your participation on here too.

Hi Steve ,
tell me what means rooimage,i am fine with moving to the right.Thanks.So you think again this is about too much with my detail extraction.I already used only at 50 % on a layer.For explanation,this tool is just a surface blur filter in PS on a reversed layer in vivid light mode.Maybe i should try to it use at a lower percentage to make you happy !!!!!! :wave:

Cheers Andreas

Multi tasking and typing do NOT go hand in hand, 'room/image'. Always good to add in the original post text if the image posted, is FF, cropped, if so roughly how much by, as it all goes to help feedback, however what are you looking for in terms of that? Might be worth posting the FF image if you can.

It's all down to personal taste Andreas, I think it's marginally too crisp with detail, but would wait and hopefully others will chime in on their thoughts.

Here you go,straight out of canon DPP no correction applied only WB.

Cheers Andreas

Not the ideal crop format, but I think you get the idea. Just have less on the LHS and more for the Rhino to walk into on the right.

[Andreas Liedmann]

Ok your right,Thank you

[Steve Kaluski]

Andreas, it's not a case of being right, just a different take on how to present your image.

[Morkel Erasmus]

I like the 'ghost rhino' feel you presented here Andreas.
Steve brought up some good points. The fact that the eye is clear makes this a keeper.
The original might just be a touch too contrasty...

Good to have you participating and looking forward to more.
