One of my best shots up to now.

Hope you like it.
P.S.: I hope the issue with the color space is fixed now

Hi Markus - nice light hitting the rhinos. Good sharpness and low pov. It's unfortunate that the building is in the bg. Was there a way to move the vehicle so the building wasn't in the bg and still get the shot? If it were mine I would darken the bg further to lessen the visibility of the building. It also looks like it can use a little NR in the fg and bg.
TFS and thanks for jumping in with your thoughts on other threads,

Hi Markus, I agree with Rachel on darkening the BKG, partly to lessen the buildings but also reduce some of the noise appearing. I would also apply a little in the FG too, perhaps including the water too? Adding some Midtone and a curves adjustment brings out a bit more forum within the subjects. Having the Ox Peckers is a nice touch , likewise the low POV.

Hi Markus,
good to see Rhinos as always, like the setting , besides the building in the BKG, you could try to darken to help a bit , getting rid of the building.
Overall i think the image is too light, would try to tone tone the highlights and 1/4 tones , by using lump masks .The shadows on the rhinos are looking lightened , if so i would back off on the shadows.
Plus i would address the noise as already mentioned.
The birds on the rhinos adding a nice touch to the image.

Lovely light and angle here Markus...and yes always a treat to see.
I'm curious as to the location given the building in the background but would never ask you do publicly divulge their location here. Will send you a PM.
Good suggestions received above already. Another option to "get rid" of the man-made elements is to go high contrast monochrome. The light falling on them makes it easy to get it right, though it may not be to everyone's taste. Quick repost to show you what I'm talking about. Did it in Silver Efex and added a black vignette as well as coffee toning (subtle).

Thanks for the feedback. I did not really realize the building in the BG - seems i just was too focussed on the rhinos ;-)
Anyway, i tried to modify the picture according to the response. But i'm not so experienced with post-processing.
Morkel: I'd like to answer your question via PM but you inbox is full.

Nice pairing of these two and the light is lovely. The angle of view works nicely as well.
Morkel's B&W works well for me. Dale your RP is better but to my eye, you've lifted the shadows a little too much and it looks slightly unnatural.
