Welcome! An interesting perspective with the head forming a strong diagonal through the frame and I like the intimate close up. Zoo shots are not as easy as a lot of people think and some tech details/camera settings would be helpful for critique purposes, I feel that the critical focus appears more on the foreground rock than the rhino.

Rhinos have such wonderful hides for texture and pattern shots. I like the idea here but the big rock takes away from the subject for me. I'd have preferred the rhino completely filling the frame, or perhaps just a small sliver of the rock.

I quite like what I perceive to be the intent of this shot......comparing the ruggedness of the rhino with that of a rock. There is a certain tonal similarity as well.
