Interesting treatment. Certainly takes the animal out of the zoo context, but into another non-natural one. I like the overall look, and with a number of these types of images, you could build a personal photo-book that would be a neat keepsake. I like it.

The processing here is really unique. While I tend to prefer to see images of wildlife in a natural habitat, I do like the stark nature of this shot. There is an implied message about conservation when images are presented like this.

nice work,

Yes I remember seeing these wild in Africa when I was young, including one that appeared very suddenly right in front of our car. It's very hard to see a black rhino these days. Still some white rhino around but for how long?

Looks great!

Side note - True of the limited existence of the BR these days and the whites are getting taking down in a horrible rate as well. Amazing when you see the fire power of the anti poaching but the profits are to great. Really makes a person sad. I have been in Africa well over a year and a half in the past 15 and to see places like Kruger, etc and to view the displays of the poaching "tools" like 2x4 lumber with 24 penny nails to lace the paths of rhino/hippo, or wire contraptions. Grrrrrr. It makes me so pissed.

2011 - 448 rhino poached in South Africa only
2012 - 668 and that was only through December
2013 - Well we are only in October and 688+

here is a link for more(I hope it is okay and not to highjack the thread):

Oh it sux. Terribly!

Ian, this is a fabulous rendition of a black rhino...your processing is wonderful and I could certainly see it as a cover especially with all the surrounding space being used for prose...
