A very good day yesterday at the North Lakes Animal Park with our group and the first years.
My favourite image of them all (above) I really like the simplicity and catch light in the eyes.
Detail and texture, its all about the skin for rinos so I wanted to ilustrate the earthyness, the cracks and skin tones.
I was very lucky to get this shot (above) they were moving around allot and the youngster was rarely in good view with the mother constantly keeping him so close.
I got low to the ground to accentuate the blurred background. It may look stuffed but they are real little characters.
A heavy crop for another nice portrait above.
