Great trio, Sheriff. I like the different angles they have from your position, also the different grades of illumination.
Worth to go to favs.

Very nice shot of the three drinking together here Sheriff. Great detail and timing. I see the small birds behind them..I understand that some bird species actually follow these large mammals around, waiting for "excreta" to pick through for undigested seed & such.. Well done & Thank You!

Good capture, maybe a little light on contrast, but still a good post TFS

Not often that you see three such big rhino together. Not being one who goes to Kruger, I do not see many rhino. A little soft focus unfortunately and I think you could have opushed up the saturation a bit, but thank you for sharing.

Hi Sheriff!

Nice picture of those rhinos drinking at the river. Light is beautifull. The front view and the 3/4 position of one of them define well their shape.
1/100sec seems quite slow for a 313mm (35mm eq.= 500mm). Do you use a tripod or any other kind of support?
I have seen pictures taken with that lens and they seem slightly sharper.
Still an excellent shot and TFS.

PS.: Wellcome on TN and keep posting us pretty images like this one.

Hi Sheriff,
Super capture!

Good side lighting bringing life to the image, fine composition with good balance!

I like the different grades of illumination too. The one in the shadow is less detailed, but there is still enough details there though. Nice to see those beautiful guys.

Hi Sheriff
Still busy trying to catch up on my long overdue backlog so I am still visiting some of your earlier postings to deliver a couple of well deserved smiley’s.
This is a lovely capture of the trio in the late afternoon sun. Was this perhaps taken at the Nsemani dam near Satara? That is were I saw my last leopard, but at the lookout on the other side of the road.
Anyway, I like your tightish crop with this composition. The colours are very natural and you show a good amount of details. You did well to manage the fading light and although the two rhino's on the left caught a bit of shade one can still see enough of them.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Sheriff, most of your photos are very soft, you need to sharpen them after re-sizing them for TN. This one's not too bad but could still do with some sharpening. I'll try a workshop to show you how they can be improved.
