Good idea to make it black and white, because it makes the picture look more sad.

Yeah, it's rather sad. Zoo animals are like fish in a tank -- they're home is only a few hundred square feet big, and that's all to the world they know. Rather depressing.

This shot really draws a lot of emotion and thought. You think zoo's are doing a good thing by "taking care" of these endangered animals, but look at this misery! This rhino needs to be free, just like every other animal.

I guess most zoo animals are quite a bit depressed, this picture expresses that sad helpless feeling brilliantly

Oh wow he does look sad doesnt he? Really nice photo in that it captures the emotion though...

tickticcan [2007-05-08 00:14:56 +0000 UTC]

Great job of capturing the emotion. Zoos have a responsibility to give their animals a large living space (ESPECIALLY big old rhinos) and provide toys, food, etc, to keep them interested.

Philzang [2007-03-27 15:37:35 +0000 UTC]

Great shot, I love the composition, the only thing is it's a bit blurry. I would take it to photoshop to see if you could sharpen it just a bit, it would add to the overall feeling of it. Either that, or you could make it a soft-focus photograph. That would add to the somber mood as well. Great shot, regardless.
