•  Info A black rhinoceros mother and calf pair in the Etosha National Park, just after sunset. There was just about enough light to photograph them at an acceptable ISO setting. The mother had just finished drinking at the waterhole and the pair paused for a minute before they disappeared into the night. -- ~y (talk) 11:22, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Great shot! Alexander Vasenin (talk) 19:06, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Composition, low contrast. --Karelj (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Support Lovely. Nice smooth lighting. I often quite like the lack of contrast when animals fit so naturally into their environment. I agree with Jkadavoor, let's schedule this for Mother's day. --99of9 (talk) 01:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Support great shot with very nice light! do you have a slightly wider crop on the left and right? regards mathias K 04:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks. I could just about fit both in into the frame with the FFL lens I was using, so there's just a handful of similar photographs. -- ~y (talk) 06:00, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Ah OK, thats a reason. That's obviously one little con on a prime tele lens. ;-) But anyway we can be realy lucky with this nice result. --mathias K 09:38, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

•  Support. The left- and right-hand-side crops are a little tight, but otherwise it's very nice. —Bruce1ee^talk 05:51, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very good quality and nice colors but there just needs to a bit more space around the animals. Kruusamägi (talk) 22:15, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
