    I am very fortunate to live close to a nature reserve. We had friends from overseas with us, and although they have been to Africa, it was good to get close to this Rhino. Totally wild, and not to be messed with, I captured this guy in the open. I decided to leave the grass around him as is. Overcast conditions. This guy seems to need a bit of fattening up. The ground was sloping, as the horizon is level.

    has to be Rietvlei NR :)
    nice shot Stu - don't mind the slope. great exposure and depth.
    I would still attempt to clone out some of the grasses that obstruct the view of the rhino

    Hi Stuart,
    I like the overall color tone of this, portrays the overcast conditions well to my eye. I like the habitat you've shown, grass is alright with me as well since there's no stalks intersecting the eye.
