This is a well done shot, but is begging for sky replacement. It would be worth the effort. Great title! ~ Lonnit

I love the stark contrast, not to mention imaginative concept. Cool.

Great Image!

That DOES look like a rhino Mikey, especially with those white headlights for eyes! :-) CJ

Yah, Doug, we've had a pretty weird winter, so the frost depth is still shallow and he'll be rutting around in the dirt for a while yet. Cheers, -mikey

One serious machine Mickey. Unfortunetly I'll bet it's not done for the season. -COAmature

Thanks, Rod; I appreciate kind words. They probably have these rhinos in OZ, too if you get out and look for 'em, but they are rare. ":^) Cheers, -mikey
Rod 15-Feb-2008 21:56
PS. The picy is really good Mikey:-)

I class everything which isn't currently moving as a plant; for some reason it seems to get me in a lot of trouble. ;) -mcbit

Gerry, everyone knows that rhinos are wildlife, not plants ";^D) It was one of those "almost snowing" afternoons, hence the sky being so featureless. I'd want to have more character there, but you have to catch these beasts when they're out rutting around in the earth, or sleeping, in this case. They are rare, after all. Thanks for the comments, y'all. Cheers, -mikey

The stark white background makes a great contrast. Almost as though the sky were cropped out. Will Brady
