    A top class image Rakesh. Love the soft tones, the flamingoes in the BG, and of course seeing rhinos with their horns on and alive!!
    Might take a sliver off the bottom?

    Hi Rakesh, nicely done, and the flamingos are a great addition to the scene. I just wonder if the saturation is just pushed a little too much and the sharpness eased oof a fraction? Certainly a sliver off the foot of the image would be good and better balanced.

    Nice shot Rakesh. Great pairing of subjects and beautiful surroundings. Flamingo BG provides some nice color.

    This is such a wonderful image. The symmetry between these two magnificent creatures puts it over the top for me, not to mention the beautiful forground and background, eye contact. Again just a superb image
