    Default Publicity Photo?

    I took some images for my good friends Jenny and Karl for their planned new publicity for their camp Rhino Safari Camp (http://www.rhinolodge.com/)

    Do you think this would work, the accomodation is at the back.

    We were lucky yo get stuck in the sand on the beach, and this young man seemed to not be at all upset by our presence.

    Wow! Wish to have a house like that with wildlife going about their own business few meters away. Bliss!

    Me too, and believe it or not some lucky Zimbabwwans have one just around the corner from the camp, it was the old NP accomodation, if it was for sale I would buy it tomorrow

    I think this would work well as a promotional image for the lodge. Who wouldn't find the thought of elephants playing in the mud and water just outside your room very inviting!

    Ken - I agree this would work well as a promotional photo. Maybe just a bit of ccw rotation?

    TFS,

    Thanks everybody for your kind comments, I think I should also have asked if you liked the image as an image

    Works for me Ken. Clear view of accommodations in the background with killer action it is a very image for promotional purpose.

    These guys sure look like they enjoy the mud and water (this one in particular ). I like the strip of mud free skin on the head and the way the tail and spray almost line up. He has an odd pose, almost like he's arching his back like a hissing cat.

    Really good image with interesting pose, really attractive colours and that cuteness factor. Great capture too. I agree it's good advertising material. Both as an ad and (to a lesser extent) as an image-image I have the same small nit, that I wish the second hut wasn't obscured by the elephant (as an ad because that is the open one from which you could imagine sitting and viewing the elephant). Small nit.

    Agree with all the comments; would not work in a family oriented publication advertising Africa.

    For some publications, a significant PS circumcision is required!
