Further to my image yesterday, here is one of the young female Rhino I took when we followed them ashore on foot. Here she is doing a mock charge.
Taken in Matusadona National Park. Zimbabwe.

On foot distance to subject 7.1 metres

Good that this was only a mock charge Ken, looks like she would have a lot of punch! Nice close-up and steady nerves at such a close range.

She looks as if she wants to play with you Ken!

I love the good detail and natural colours here. A lower angle would have given it quite a bit more impact, but I understand that would have been rather risky.

Vincent,

Thanks very much for your comment, I was on my knees but figured that laying flat may not be a good idea
