A good look at that eye & single horn Andreas, the tall elephant grass portrays the place well (those who know of it) and you got a nice angle here.

Andreas taken the words out of my mouth( grass mess does make it more interesting )showing this magnificent animal in i's habitat, great work.

Hi Andreas - I rather like this (and I seem to remember you felt the same way about my similar though wider leopard shot). It gives a good sense of the dense habitat but the eye and much of the head is still visible. Only thing I might do is tone down the brightest grass that loops up by the ear.
TFS,

Andreas my first reply to you as someone new!! Your images are spectacular and that is not just because I'm not traveled and seeing these animals wild is but a dream,it's the heart and abiltiy that captivates me.
I really love the colours in the grass,I have no real conception of this habitat,but I think it's almost miraculous that the eye is clear and a ghost can be so big
Andreas,I have to say that if the rhino was clear of all this vegetation for me it would make for a less interesting picture I also love the light draped over his head,just lovely this thanks for sharing

Hi Andreas -- Great image here that captures the Indian one-horned rhino's typical habitat in this wonderful park - I loved our visit their last February (deliberately not naming the park here). It is amazing how these beasts can just disappear into the long elephant grass and then reappear from nowhere, so your title "ghost" is very fitting. I love that you managed to get a clear view of the eye and most of the horn. I agree with Rachel about possibly toning down the lightest grass near the ear; very minor issue though. Fantastic shot, especially given that you got such a good angle despite being high up on elephant back. Cheers!

Hi Andreas
You defenitely have his attention..
The pose is intimidating, POV effective..
Stunning detail on Rhino, did you use TK in PP?
I am still unsure about the image content: busy, eye makes contact with the eye, but wanders again...maybe a very tight crop? Again, just my POV..

One of your best images you have posted here on Wildlife Andreas, and to me not a candidate for the theme at all, but deserves merit on it's own. 
Love the dappled light and grass habitat here and as you say, if you have the eye clear it all comes together.
What's also special is the way you have symmetry between the ears and the blades of grass, I do agree with toning down the RHS curved grass.
