Rhino Crossing

A massive rhino crossed our path offering a clear shot of it.

Hi Sanjeev - I edited your post to remove the location. People generally do not include the locations of rhinos so as not to give the poachers any info. I like the wide image and walking pose of the rhino. Although I'm not generally a fan of road images sometimes the road does give one an advantage or becomes part of the story being told. The image feels a little flat to me, I would try to give the rhino a bit more pop. Keep them coming.

TFS,
Rachel

This certainly shows the rhino as a massive animal! Although the bkgd is busy with lots of brush & trees it does not intrude as it is pretty much the same colors of tans and the rhino is a contrasting solid gray. In this case the road provides a sense of scale that adds to the feeling created with this image. That is one big animal!

I like this image a lot. It is the first time I have seen an image of an entire rhino. The walking pose is excellent. Have you considered a pano crop?

Hi Sanjeev, more of a fun image for me, which is nice.

With a + of EV you are loosing SS so can I assume you went for f/4 to gain the lost SS? It's a little tight on the RHS for me and so creates a bit of an awkward crop as presented, too much space to the left. I had a similar thought to Andrew, going pano, but it's just too narrow I feel. Reverting back to a 3x2 and working from the bottom RHC taking the crop in pro to say the 'g' of your surname, may perhaps offer a better balance? Like the outstretched front leg illustrating that 'walking' pose.

Nice tones here, and the rhino does stand out from the surrounding foliage (though adding a hint more pop wouldn't hurt, as per Rachel).
I too felt a pano crop would be worth the effort...
Nothing much one can do about trees protruding from his back in this location, hard to avoid it actually

Hi Sanjeev, rhino looks good to me, I as well might give it a tad more punch. Trees oh well, they are everywhere and we should be happy for that. It shows it's environment where it roams hopefully in freedom.
Very del done.

Gave a great eve
