Hey Johan,
Well - the smile thing was definitely contagious with me - grinned from ear-to-ear when I saw this! Some might argue that the image is a little tight and would benefit from having a little more room on the left, but doing this would reduce the size of the butts, and this image is all about the butts!! So...given the goal of smile-inducement ( ), this image works just fine for me exactly as posted!
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Hi Johan, butt images can indeed be very funny, particularly with giants like rhinos, hippos and elephants! The right individual here has some interesting artistic symmetrical patterns around its tail . IMO this would also work well if the rhino's head were excluded (i.e. looking straight ahead and the butts tighter framed).

what a butt!!! I mean finding two rhinos in pose. I appreciated the symmetry of the rightmost B-side. My major nit is the absence of the larger version,(but i could understand it was difficult to squeeze all those stuffs in ). Sorry, seriously: we could have better appreciated the details in their skins. Maybe Vincent is not wrong about leaving the head away, it wold have given more strength to the b-side concept.

Cute pair of butts I must say Johan!
It must be their slightly over-sized frame that's most endearing, don't you think?
I think the close framing works very well to emphasize their very large butts, no "butts" about it

Thanks for your comments.
Vincent, I'll try a caption straight on as well the next time. If I ever get the pleasure of another of these backside encounters.
Luca, the larger version will not be omitted in the future.
Howard, what do you mean by "slightly"?
