EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the innocence and vulnerability of Ithuba, a white rhino calf orphaned by the ruthless act of poaching. Taken at the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, this image captures the resilience and hope that exists amidst such tragic circumstances. The color image beautifully portrays Ithuba against a backdrop of lush grasslands and towering trees. With its vertical composition, it emphasizes the grandeur of nature surrounding this young rhinoceros. The bright daylight illuminates every detail, allowing us to witness Ithuba's striking features up close. In this animal portrait, our eyes meet with those of Ithuba as it gazes directly into the camera lens. Its innocent yet determined expression speaks volumes about its will to survive despite adversity. The focus on the foreground highlights every nuance - from its delicate ears to its sturdy legs - reminding us of both fragility and strength coexisting within one being. As we observe this juvenile wild animal walking through its natural habitat, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts in protecting these magnificent creatures from harm. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that each life lost due to poaching is not just an individual tragedy but also a blow to our shared natural heritage. Ann & Steve Toon have masterfully captured both beauty and sorrow in their portrayal of Ithuba's story—a testament to their skill as photographers dedicated to raising awareness about wildlife preservation around the world.
