A good looking White Rhino captured in Kruger National Park as it walked towards our vehicle while hosting a private photographic safari.

Lovely portrait of this rhino. The small trees on all sides do a nice job of softening the horizon and the softness of the grass gives it a nice feeling.

Mario, I like the central placement of this rhino in the frame. It takes up all of it's allocated space and more and is a real statement that "you don't want to mess with me." Excellent DOF, framing, colors, no nits for me.

Hi Mario, always great to see a Rhino in the wild.

Is this a crop or FF, it just seems a bit tight top & bottom, so if you have it, then adding a bit more I feel would help. Alternatively do you have any take in a vertical format as to me it seems to lend itself more that way, being centrally placed.

Hello Mario great composure. I know centered but enjoy seeing the surrounding shrubs etc. their softness gives a pleasant framing for a centered powerful image .

Thanks for sharing

Bill
