Great that you saw rhinos. When I was there, they were nowhere to be found. The larger image has great detail in it. Do you have any idea how many black rhinos inhabit the crater?

Ken: you've captured the rhino in a very peaceful and idyllic setting. I like the pose of the rhino with the raised foreleg and the oof zebras in the background. Nicely done. Richard

Ken,

I like this type of light conditions, since it lets the image look very smooth in its contrast. The background zebras and other animals create a nice sense of spatiality.

Thanks every body much appreciated.
Jerry,
I have no idea as the figures are not given out, but I do know that the majority originally came from South Africa
