Hi Shreyas - always exciting to see one of these on the move. Nice job on the exp. While I like fill the frame shots, I would prefer a little more room all around on this one.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Sheryas, certainly a frame filler and this is why fixed lens can be your best friend, or your worst enemy
, certainly removing the 2x would have been ideal, but in the 'heat of the moment...'. I do feel the image is light, with no real tone or contrast (no real blacks or whites for tonal range), but am away so it could well be the fact I'm viewing on the laptop? Although to me it has the same 'qualities' as per the Lion pride, but I could well be wrong, I just wonder if there is anything in the PP you are doing that may create this, just a thought? Perhaps a little NR to the top part of the BKD?
On a positive note you have a nice shot of a Rhino and it looks sharp, any image of a Rhino is a good one.

Magnificent Rhino! It must have been super thrilling to see this. I really like the slight turn of the head and that you can easily see the eye. I also like the uplifted moving foot. I think a bit more "pop" on the rhino, as Steve suggested, would be nice. If you do anything with the contrast you may want to reduce the brightness of that white spot to the right of the horn. Also a bit more room all around, to give this beast somewhere to go
.

While I agree with a little more room, I feel as though you did a great job under the circumstances. The sharpness looks good, and I like the pose. Steve K can probably help you tweak the processing a little.

Hi Steve, thanks for the RP. It however is a bit more harsh for me with the grays standing out rather unnaturally IMO.
Apart from this light situation for this particular shot, I compared it with the ones shot later (with brighter light) - and they have grayish-blue tone on the Rhino, rather than a prominent gray. Will post one of those in a separate thread and see what you think.
