This image scored exactly as it deserved. For some reason (I'm working on it!) my monitor didn't show the horrible halos in the background before I uploaded it. Thank you to everyone who commented. I loved this subject, and will go back to the drawing board with processing this image!

Normally I find nature shots to be more documentary that art, however, there's such a great expression and feeling of resignation on the face -- it says a lot more to me than a normal animal shot.

That being said, The background is oversharp -- it works on the beastie, but you're getting weird halos around the rocks.

Sharp capture of interesting expression, enhanced by black and white processing, perhaps technically weakened by what appears to be a sharpening halo along the neck and leg and by absence of the other horn tip. Interesting as character study, less strong as "art" in the sense of expressing emotion, exploring elements of design, or connecting us to non-rational meanings.
