    Hi Dumay - Always great to see a black rhino, especially in the wild. Nicely framed and processed with excellent detail and sharpness. Great trotting pose too. It all works for me.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Dumay

    I entirely agree with Rachel above: image well captured and processed, great IQ, sharpening just right, lovely colours and I like the DOF:)

    What a superb specimen this black rhino is, in such good condition, and I just love the pose - very nice work Dumay, I am so enjoying your posts, give us more please

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Really nice image here. Wonder how much better the BG would have been shot wide open? Pretty great as is!

    Amazing image Dumay. I like the nice look at the bull with out distractions. Love the trotting pose and composition. Always great to see a BR in the wild.

    This just works so well, mate. Great soft light, pose, details and separation from the BG.

    Beautiful shot Dumay. The processing is perfect on this. A very nice looking specimen and you've even managed to make him look sleek and elegant.
