I prefer Durer's woodcut compared to Burgkmair because to me it had more exaggerated features making the rhinoceros more unique and interesting to the eye. Durer also had studied armor in which you can see the influence from that in the woodcut giving the rhinoceros a remarkable appearance.
I really like the olive-green chiaroscuro woodcut of Durer's rhinoceros because there is an extensive amount of detail in it. I can see a lot of sharp marks as well as soft marks that have been made in the piece. Because Durer was influenced by amour, I can also see how the plates on the rhinoceros show a lot of similarity to that of Durer's influences. I can also see an exaggeration on the rib cage and how it resembles like the pegs in an umbrella giving the rhinoceros a striking appearance.
