some great shots there, I like the small rhino head-on shot and the baby elephant. I love how the giraffes are almost blending in with the stonework - urban camouflage?

 

[Pete Askew]

Some cute little critters there Dave. The running Rhino has a lot of potential I think - how about grainy B&W?

 

[Dave Moss]

Thanks Andrew must admit the Rhino is one of my favorites

Thanks Pete I did try the running Rhino in B&W

Wasnt sure if it worked

 

[Pete Askew]

I prefer it I think (see what the others say also) - how about a hint of sepia?

 

[Dave Moss]

Now that I do prefer although I did this with a split tone then took some of the sepia out of

Even better Dave although you've lost a touch of brightness in the highlights that added more life the the B&W version. Looking good tough I think.

I thought that when I posted it to here Pete so I reworked it a bit before you said and republished it to Flickr

 

[Pete Askew]

I was too quick. Spot-on I'd say Dave.
