You really captured the natural coloration of this hippo. And, an opportune moment with the bird perched on him or her- thats cute. Is that a study in size or not? The background is a little confusing. The watery background grass where it meets the dry grass doesn't seem natural. It isn't blending in right. I would have prefered the hippo to be in a tad more focus. The good things are how well you caught the hippo. It looks perfectly natural at rest and it's color is also so pefect. Nice work

Hello Marietha....The angle you have taken this picture is superb.....Is it true that these animals appear docile...but they are responsible for more deaths in Africa than any other animal due to there territorial nature....Well done...All the best...Mick.
