    Hi folks , coming back with a dirty image .
    I enjoyed watching some White Rhino having a good time in the mud , it was very short , due to one other tourist who messed up my shooting , by getting out of the car and walking on foot towards them (on the road) . Was just enough to make them all run away , there have been 7 of them around the mud pool .
    I yelled at that guy , that he should go back into his car , and he was asking me why !!!! " is it dangerous he asked ??!! "

    So in the end i had to quit the session , because all rhinos , went off quickly and did not want to come back , tried again 1 hour later , but no success.

    Awesome action captured here Andreas. Rhinos are just great to watch when they are in the mud. Lovely DOF and detail captured here; no suggestions for changes. Shame about the other stupid tourists who spoiled the sighting for everyone. I am hearing about more and more of these types of poor behaviors by others that are ruining sightings, stressing the animals, and giving all of us a bad name. Such a shame.

    Hello Andreas,

    Lovely textures and colour on the mud, excellent sharpness and detail, those bits flying - what a bonus! Glad I wasn't there though, the tourist in question would regret being there, I would do everything in my power to ban him from all National Parks.
    Every time I see a rhino image I wonder how long before a poacher learns of its existence...

    Well captured, processed and presented, nice DOF, well exposed, ticks all the boxes for me

    Have a great Sunday,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Andreas

    Nice comp and DOF. Rhino very sharp, image well processed. ( that mud can be very blue sometimes..)

    It looks like it is the tip of the horn flying!

    The stupidity of Man is something we have deal with always.

    Well done Mr BE!
    Regards

    Andre.

    Hi Andreas - This is great. I love the low pov and the flying mud. Excellent tonal range and processing. I added the "Theme" prefix because I certainly think the textures you have brought out qualify for this month's theme.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Andreas, excellent, works very well, cool position, and you can feel that sticky mud just oozing.

    Some parts/elements I do feel are a bit light, getting a some more tonal range/depth in the colour does help, i.e. FG mud, RHS of the Rhino as viewed, but my taste.

    TFS
