Beautiful low angle makes it look as though you were in the water, or in a boat. It is great to see these magnificent creatures roaming so free.

Great light, great subject and great point of view. Catching the rhino with its right from foot off the ground (as opposed to being flat footed) adds to the shot by implying motion. Richard

Perfect light and your timing was right on to get the lifted front leg.
