Description

WOW after 2 hours, gee the things I had to do to get thru that time!!! Shame my poor hair... Tisk Tisk. Oh well... Tx to the 5 comments I got yesterday and for the spare clicks... I'm sure it was due to the speed of everything. Hope all have a lovely weekend. WooHoo public holiday tomorrow... Hope I did well with the bright afternoon sun as back lighting - in terms of exposure. I did correct the WB with curves options. And I'm pretty confident with the focus and sharpness this time... Please click the zoom button to get a better view. My choice for yesterday: froznlife42 - Shell Game - 9

Great composition in this portrait Vera! You certainly seem to have come away from that zoo with some amazing material... Do you ever use the shadow/highlight option - this a good way to experiment in getting additional light in shadowed areas etc...that way you don't have to worry SO much about perfectly lit scenes. Fantastic capture anyway! Have a great day +++

Wonderful capture of this rare beast. I like the focus on the business end of the rhino. Hate to get in the way of that horn.

Hey, that's me! I am the rhino! I have a really big horn, with alot of body mass, to help me smash through any and all obstacles I encounter in life, and a very tough hide, to keep me from getting hurt! LOL. Actually, it's just a metaphor I've used throughout the years, to keep my fears from hindering success. Excellent capture Vera! I hope your day is absolutely fantastic! [Huge hug]

hehe, he looks like he's about to charge. I love the composition, and again, you've got an excellent eye for light.

Great shot Vera, and very illustrative as to why it is called a white rhino, i.e. the shape of the mouth.

I despise the lot of them! Living in a safe city in Western Europe, I get bugged only by tiny little flies (which I never kill, but chase out the open window) and spiders (which I pick up on a piece of paper and deposit on my doorstep). We don't want vermin here. Same thing with your predators. I don't eat kangaroo meat, nor ostriches from South Africa. Still, these beasts roam around. I'd rather they didn't. I'm sure you and just about anybody will hate me for this, but I have to say it: some species are better done without. On the other hand, this is a wonderful photograph. Congrats! You have captured this horrible beast in a magnificent way. Excellent photography!
