It is quite huge. The b/w treatment looks nice. You could have tried using a narrower aperture to get more details as you had a high shutter speed. How is the situation in Kaziranga now?How are the sightings? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the suggestion Mrudul.
Kaziranga is the best I have seen among all that I have visited including Bandipur, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Ranthambore, Mudumalai, Sunderbans..... etc because of the sheer number of exotic and endemic species and ease of sightings (except for tigers whose density is high but sightings are because of the elephant grass).

Nice image of the Rhino, Pralay. Seems to be a senior citizen :D. I remember seeing a lot of elderly 'uncles' distinctly visible from a distance due to their hairy ears :). Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see an one horned rhino from Kaziranga. In black and white I would love to see more contrast and texture. Thanks for sharing.
