Nice close up capture of this amphibian family enjoying a cool dip.
Monochromatic colors. Excellent details & features. Impressive setting & textures.
Perhaps we can just crop that negative space above so we can give more focal attention on the hippos.
That way you have a more defined image.
Thanks for sharing...

They be a chillin ..lol. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of hippos relaxing in the water is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.
