[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a zoo shot, but I liked the positions of the rhinoceroses. They almost looked like rocks they blend in so well to the bg. You're ok, mostly, though, up to about 10 feet from them as they are highly near-sighted!

These lumbering giants are headed for extinction in some lands so preservation is a priority in some national parks in Africa.

PP-crop and resize, do some contrasting and darkening to bring out the rhinos better. Resharpened and submitted.

Hi Gary. Good and unusual composition of rhinos having a doze, and looking as if they know where there next meal will come from! Without predators they can afford to live and relax like this. But may risk putting on weight like many of us humans in this day and age. Well seen and presented. Murray.

Güzel bir çekim olmus tebrikler.

Sleeping dogs? Make sure you wear your glasses when in the bush! Rhinos don't see all that well either. Good composition. Nice camouflage captured and observed.
Cheers

They do have great camouflage, they really blend in well, it is funny to see them just laying like they are. Good capture of them in such a relaxed state. Good notes also. TFS
