The rhinos were very restless this day chasing each other from one end of their enclosure to the next. There was alot of dust and the shots were few and far between. I felt very lucky to have gotten this one and was able to do something with it. They both went into their building right after I took this shot, probably to take a lunch break.

Outstanding for the blood and the forms. I'm glad humans have not evolved to have horns. 8.

Great textures, and the red really stands out against the grey of the animals and rocks. Well done.

though there isnt much feel of motion the little traces of red that are visable show that it has been fairly fierce fighting. great shot.

Poor little rhinos :-( Why can't they all just get along?!? :-) Great detail in the texture of the rhinos, but they blend in with the background so much that I wish there was a little something to distinguish them from the rocks. Though, on the other hand, it's kinda neat that they blend in.

Poor rhinos...such is life I suppose. Good timing on your part, as this is a powerful image. The shadows across the center are distracting and take away from some of the power of the image. Nice sharpness and coloring. :)
