[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In yesterday's post I promised to show a lot more of this rhino than an extreme close-up. This was taken at the African Lion Safari near Cambridge, Ontario.

This rhino, fresh from a mud bath, climbed over this piece of dead tree branch and proceeded to rub his underbelly back and forth, giving himself a good scratch.

I cropped the image down a little, adjusted the levels in Photoshop, then sharpened it, resized it, before saving and uploading it.

Hi Michael... I like the texture of the mud showing in the photo. I wish the head was not in the shadow. Thanks for sharing.

I love rinhos and your photo, too.
Good Luck
Milad
