It is certainly folly that creates the demand for for this and many other folk remedies. Hopefully we will come to our senses before it is too late for these beautiful animals. A nicely composed shot of an increasingly rare scene.

Great initial impact and good notes with your photograph. The panoramic works well with this piece. The composition is great with the position of the three rhinos. Nice detail. Good luck on the contest.

Yes it is a very sad situation when the dwindling population of an amazing and unique animal, that simply because of a small part of it's body being in superstitious demand, despite science has proved there are no medical or health benefits. This and greed have slaughtered these poor animals and left them in terrible states before they die. It's an unbelievable thing and terrible it is not regulated more tightly to aid prevention. Anyway, the picture - Absolutely superb - easily my favourite of your Out of Africa trip photographs, capturing these beasts standing in different angles, giving you a great POV to shoot and get the different details of these amazing Rhinos. The lighting is great, subdued and natural, and the clarity and DOF are amazing, and I also guess you must have been pretty far away from these to get this photo too so even more impressive! The greenery and plants behind their little patch and the shows the true natural habitat for these perfectly and clearly, with a good sense of scale. They are each brilliantly captured showing a head on and side section view between the two foremost rhinos. Finally the panoramic view is done incredibly well and a sublime choice to finish off the picture. A brilliant and inspiring photo.

Im so pleased that there is an entrant in this competition where there are animals included in the landscape presentation. I like your panoramic composition and the descriptive notes that remind us of just how endangered these animals are ..where was this taken ?

No thanks to the greed of the unscrupulous and cruel men, many wonderful species are fast getting extinct. You have a captured may be one of last last of these creatures. nice shot! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Thanks for sharing both your photo and your artist's notes. Quite interesting and learned lots of things I did not know. The photo itself is perfect for a panoramic view....And because of you and what you saw through your lens, I was able to get a glimpse of something I will never see up close and personal. Excellent photo and taken with superb photography skills. All is top notch from the contrast to the highlights; from the lightning to the overall composition. EXCELLENT.....
