    Hi Ben - Love the youngster and the walking pose of both as well as the low angle. I'm picking up a little magenta on the head of the adult in particular. Also, I'm not sure if its from the dust but the image just seems a little muted to me. Let's see what others say.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Ben, Nice capture in lovely light and pleasing composition with the stratified textures of the foreground, mid-field and background. I can also see a magenta cast, most noticeably in the foreground - should be easy to fix. Regards, Ian.

    I did decrease magenta a little and increased the contrast. The soil has a blue hue around the water hole. Thanks for the comments.

    It's lovely to see a rhino and young calf. I love the low POV and nice separation between the Mother and calf. 1/320 is a bit low SS for moving subject especially when you are on a safari vehicle and f4.5 is hard to keep both of them in sharp foci. Loi

    Very nice shooting angle and lovely walking pose. The colours in the RP are better. Nice one.

    Nice image here Ben, agree with the comments on top and would add that even your repost lacks a bit of punch.
    Perhaps a slight round of LCE or Nik Tonal Contrast will do the trick?

    Hi Ben -- very nice to see a Rhino calf !! Liked the raised paws of both Rhinos , Your RP is slightly better thn the OP in terms of magenta cast but agree with Morkel on the lack of punch in it . TFS

    Hi Ben, love the shot, absolutely superb. I like your last re-post., and think it would be very difficult to make this image look more like what you saw through your lens.

    Nothing worse then over processing an image.

    My only recommendation.. a full frame camera, that has the ability to work at at least 6400 iso., and the ability to crop to 60% effectively.
