Hi all a second image of the funny looking Rhino who had fun in a mud pool , it looks funny , but i actually think it is quite hard work for such a big guy to roll in the mud for a reason we all should know . It is not just for the fun of it .
I enjoyed watching the scene , as long as we got disturbed by another tourist , i already said that .

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous thread
yeah what fun, well not for the rhino to roll around but to see. We should try that too :))
love the forehead of the rhino being not wet, drags a tad the eye to it to look closer. I might would back up a tad the contrast in the BG, it is a bit to "bushy" side tracking, well to sticky or whatever :))
Hi Andreas - There are spas that charge a lot for a mud bath. Interesting behavioral shot. I sort of like the spot that isn't covered, makes me wonder whether he was able to get it covered. Nice detail brought out and great that we can see the eye. I think rhinos are much more agile than we give them credit. I once saw one climb on and over a fallen tree so that he could scratch his stomach.
Andreas, thanks for sharing this frame. This is indeed fun to watch as much as it was fun for the Rhino. Very solid techs and PP. I like the visible eye, the detail and sharpness.

Hi Andreas,
I really enjoy and like this image. Made me smile.
Love the area on his head that is not covered with mud.
IQ is excellent and I think the colors are spot on.
I would be tempted to clone out the triangular white thing on the bank to the left of the rhino.

I love this! The dry spot on the face really takes it up a notch and draws the eye as Anette said.
I agree with toning down the contrast and structure of the busy BG, Andreas...
