A beautiful stop action picture of this Hippo mouth open water pouring out of it it's reflection seen in front of it on among the ripples the light dancing on the surface of the water adds that extra bonus. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Thank you so much on your wonderful review, really appreciate it!

Comment from CREZart
Lol, well this certainly fits, definitely has a big wide open mouth. A little hard to see the features and the light is a tad sharp but I know you couldn't pick and choose. Really can't tell a hippo how to position himself. Focus looks good and overall a cool capture. Good luck.

This shot was taken from quite a distance so not easy to get all the details. However I was so pleased to get this action shot.

Great entry for the contest. Wonderful capture of the amazing Hippo with his mouth wide open surrounded by the rippling water. I like the angle you used for this. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent clarity. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne
