    Hi Marie - you know I love your work, but the crop on this shot isn't the best in my opinion. The rhino's leg is chopped off, so either a closer shot of the eye and horns or a more distant perspective to keep both legs in might have felt better. Exposure/sharpness are bang on.

    Cheers Atle.

    White Rhino are coming back in places..it's great. While we can all stop buying rhino products, we can save these animals. Good clarity here but I think a bettter image of his eye included would have more impact. Nice image tho..cheers..Rob
