Ouch , Here is image with additional space in bottom

[Rachel Hollander]

Harshad - you can really see the "armor" here. I prefer the repost and also wouldn't mind a sliver more space behind the rhino.

TFS,
Rachel

Harshad,

We remember this sighting, that was a good afternoon (I think) the Rhinos were quite curious:S3:

The only problem I see is the slight intersection between horn and ear.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Your rhino's look so different to ours. Good head angle and like the open space but needs a bit more space on the RHS TFS:cheers:

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Harshad, the additional content below in the RP helps, but as Rachel & Vivaldo have highlighted, it also needs space on the RHS too. As presented, the Rhino sits uneasy within the composition do you have anymore space? It also seems to have lost a little bit of IQ compared to the OP, you may wish to revisit the file perhaps to see if you can extract anything more from it.

Personally your best was the one that for me, was awarded IOTW.

TFS

Very nice Harshad. Like the colors and incl of environment. Maybe moving the Rhino left and up a bit (Like the repost) in the frame for comp!

[Steve Uffman]

Very nice image...Reminds me of a Kipling story I read when I was a kid about how the Rhino got his wrinkles...

one more reason to get up there with you some day..

.probably agree with comp suggestions about space.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Lovely tones and setting here Bhai.
I agree that it still needs some space on the RHS.
and I agree in an ideal world the horn/ear intersection would've been avoided :w3

I'm okay with the space on the right, the high tree in the BG lines up with his rear end to make a nice bookend. I really like the feel of the time and habitat that you captured and the colors of the rich green and bluish gray of the mountains and rhino.
