    I really like this Harshad, particularly your composition and the tufts of hair on the ears! The pout is a very human-like expression, and the background is very ethereal. Lovely!

    Nicely processed Harshad, one of you best IMHO, love the detail and the soft colours. Good position with frame and I like the HA, but do feel you could afford to lose some space above.

    Good to have you back.

    Hi Harshad... I'm in agreement with Steve on is points. Fantastic tones and detail to this image. I also think a little less space above may give more impact to the rhino. A beautiful image.

    Good, forward planning Harshad , that is what I try to do, but fell into the trap of posting as is, rather than having two images, one for magazine, one for posting for feedback/comments. Might be worth doing the same?

    kind regards
    Steve

    Harshad,

    The space above may be for layout, but as a stand alone image, it will be stronger w/o so much of the BG above the rhino.

    Great DOF makes tip of nose to well back of head sharp - just the way to do it. Nice work.

    Harshad - it all works, great detail, sharpness and color. Good choice to go vertical.

    This is lovely Harshad, one of the nicest one horned rhino images I remember seeing. I understand comments re space, but it doesn't worry me as I like the look of the rising hills in the background (a bit like the backgrounds in Ngorongoro).

    Everyone has their freedom of speech, but if I were you, I would safely ignore the comments about the space on top.
    Great comp, love the image exactly as presented, head angle, light is great as well.

    +1 with Hilary !!!

    This is great. I especially like the level POV - so different from the high angle, shot-from-an-elephant images you usually see of this species. And I like the space above it.
