    In the past many people have pointed out how difficult it is to get good eye contact on this animal. This one was kind enough to stand quite close and still in Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Botswana, 5th January 2012.

    I think the eyelashes may answer the question?

    EOS 1D MkIII

    70-200mm MkII at 123mm

    F3,2, ISO 400, 1/3200, EV-0.33 (do not ask)

    Interesting point Ken. Nice detail and I agree with Marc, the grass adds to the image.
