Close encounter Photo

Photographer’s Note

In Matobos National Park we came within 2 metres of this 2 1/2 ton male rhino. It was a thrilling experience to sit that close to a wild rhino all the while thinking.."If this thing decides to charge...."

Hello Maria

Welcome to TE.
Great to see your 2nd post on outdoor shot.

I like this photo you have taken
.pov is ok, up close
.composition well done but can be improved
.sharpness is fine
.light is great, no shadow
.a good Note will help a lot
.it may help with a full view of him, including a bit of surrounding scene, if possible

I like this shot, taken at close range.

This makes a good post entry, keep shooting and sharing, TE is a good place to sharpen your photography skills, and we will see good photos from you soon.

TFS, cheers
Bill

Hej Maria
Og et forsinket velkommen til TE.
Et fint billede som er velkomponeret - spidsen af hornet behøves ikke her.
Der er ikke noget som "the real thing" og Knuthenborg Safari kommer vist ikke ind under den kategori.
Du tog altså fejl - de har ikke elefanter der - men de har 3 næsehorn som jeg også kom rigtig tæt på.
Venlig hilsen
Jeppe
