Nicely captured image. This doesn't look like a very happy camper, but I hear that's the nature of this beast. I like the lighting and the color palette of this shot. However, I think the image is too tight on this guy. I would suggest removing some of the top and adding room to the right if you have it. And just a bit to the left. I think it would work better as a horizontal.

Hi Harshad, I still feel less above would work better, but a good choice on format. I know why you have posted as is, but having two versions one for publication the other for presentation I do still feel, is the right route to go. Stance, colour and processing is spot on.

I agree that the frame seems a bit narrow, but I like the general composition you were going for. Great colors. The yellow/reddish highlights of the mouth and ear tufts provide a nice touch.

This is a good rhino image Harshad, I love the bright green vegetation contrasting with the grey & blueish tones. For me the comp with all that negative space above works very well.

A bit of separation between the horn and the ear would have been nice. Still a splendid portrait with lovely lush greens.

excellent image Harshad, love the pose and I love the space above (though cropping a wee bit from the top won't hurt)

This would be perfect as a cover submission. If prepared for a wall I would then crop from the top to maybe a 4x5 ratio. Great exposure.
