    Peter, I've looked at this a few times looking for some analytical feedback but have decided that I have nothing technical to add just that I really like the ethereal feel of the image. No harshness in the photo but it isn't dull either. Whatever you did to optimize the file, works for me.

    I really feel this rhino coming out of the brush in the twilight. The combination of the hazy grasses and foreground tree with the sharper rhino and darker background tree put together a powerful image. Amazing how high one can now go with the ISO!

    Peter - I like your conversion and the comp. Did you apply NR to the whole image? Just wondering why there is no texture in the rhino's body.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Interesting framing here Peter. Not too sure about whether it works for me or not - kind of on the fence. I'll have to return to view it a few times, which is never a bad thing to accomplish with an image
    The tonal range looks good as usual. I hear what Rachel is saying, perhaps the rhino could be selectively sharpened just a tad...very slightly.

    Do you have any with more space on LHS? If not, how about a crop from RHS to the stem of the OOF bush?

    Hi Peter,
    First thought was that there's too much OOF bush occupying the frame but after a few visits I decided I like how it provides an "obstacle" for the rhino to run around and out from behind. Agree with Hilary on the sharp/dull comment.

    The more I look at this, the more I like the composition with the OOF elements and the rhino's path to the viewer. I also wonder about the sharpening of the rhino or if NR was used.
