Comment from GaliaG
nice cropping to panoramic and nice capture of the little wave coused by the hippo movement

still, I would prefer less foreground and more show of the hippos

Amazing. Nice capture. I hope you used a telephoto lens...sounds like you would not want to get very close. How do they kill humans? Can they charge like a lion? The image is sharp, good depth of field. I like the light and shadow over the head and back and the stirring of the water. Good action shot. This should be a strong contender in the contest. Good luck!

thanks a lot for your lovely comments;
they don't tolerate human odor: they charge quite fast; as I said, they are able to cut a man in half!

Thank you for capturing this action of two hippos. The objects are good, the composition is okay. Maybe it would be cuter if there is more space on the upper part. (just an opinion of mine). I'd better flee before the hippos swallow me...;0)
