Taken at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Found this little guy as we walked across the bridge to Old Port Royale one night. He would have stayed there and let us watch him as long as we wanted, but when I took the picture and the flash went off he had enough!!
Thanks for the compliment. I use a Nikon D50 w/ 18-70mm lens. For that shot, the lens was at 25mm, aperature was at F3.8 and exposure was 1/3 sec.
I actually had the camera set on Auto because I didn't have time to fiddle around with manual settings (plus, I'm not good enough to know what settings to use). The sunset was amazing that day, so I wanted to shoot as many shots as I could before the sky changed. The above picture was one of the last ones I took, after the sky had darkened. This one below shows how the sky had been a few minutes earlier. Unfortunately, the camera metered on the sky and, consequently, the WL itself is almost totally black.
Personally, I like the second one with the more dramatic sky better. Maybe my monitor has different settings, because the WL isn't nearly black on my screen.

I constantly go back and forth trying to decide which I like better. The sky in the second one is more dramatic, but I think the sky and waterfall distract the eye from the Lodge itself. The first one has more of a balance between the Lodge and the waterfall, so I tend to like it a bit more.
ok let me catch my breath - I know that in all those rhino spots there are several hidden Micky's!!! oh my gosh, this whole butt thing has my head singing that old song "shake your bootie"!!!
This shot remindes me of the several I took of the rhino in the new DL parade. I loved that rhino so much! What is the odd facination with butts we all have? lol
