Stunningly impressive animal, love the detail, subtle color palate. The upturned horn is amazing. He has his eye on you. A little more room at the bottom and in front of the rhino would get the rhino less centered. Don't know what to say about the poaching - beyond understanding that humans are so ....... self-centered.

Hi Morkel,
I agree with Gary, great shot of an amazing animal. As he said it is a bit centered, but not a big issue in my mind. No other nits from me.
Isn't it cool that the rhino species each fulfill different niches? I do anyway haha...
And I just get so frustrated with poaching. Why the hell would anyone have any desire to kill such an amazing wild animal? Two days ago we found a Cape Buffalo stuck in a snare in the Serengeti- its upsetting that these animals aren't even safe in national parks.
Anyway, enough rambling, I could go off all day on poaching. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Morkel,

Thanks for posting this and for keeping the seriousness of poaching in the forefront of our minds. For me what sticks out about the image is that massive horn sticking straight up - impressive! I like the overall colour palette as well. To me it feels a bit tight on tip and on the left - but these are personal preference issues (and don't interfere at all with how well the image can be used to introduce a discussion on poaching! ).

Keep up the good work and fighting the good fight!

Cheers...

Thanks for viewing and the feedback, folks.
I cropped like this to avoid some more 'busy' foliage either side.
