Hi Anon

Wow, that's a wide mouth. I wonder if he's yawning or waiting for something to fly in :D Lovely shot and good luck in the contest! R

This is a lovely shot of the hippo. Very apt for the contest. You seem to have posted in the art category. Please shift this to the 'Photography' section! otherwise you may be disqualified. Nice shot will go waste!:) The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

A superb shot, especially for this contest. Unless someone gets a whale this is the biggest open mouth you will see. A beautifully cropped image with sharp details. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A brilliant stop action picture of this large Hippo yawning or voicing it's opinion with it's mouth open fully to show off it's dangerous tusks & the size of it's jaws open as if praising the sun shining down upon it. Beautiful composition framing. & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan
