A critically endangered black rhino walks out of the bushes at sunset to make his way to a nearby waterhole.
Towards the end of a long drought this area was barren with little food left for any grazers and browsers.

Nice how there are streaks of gray to match the rhino's coloration in the background. It makes that golden grass pop even more.

A really nice shot that shows the environment there. Really like the tones and light in this, along with being a great image of a great animal. Nice one.

Very nice. I like the layered pastels and your composition. I especially appreciate the timing of shutter, catching the lifted foreleg and the determined looking forward motion implied. Pose offers great classical rhino shape, too.
