Looks like you're giving him a mush needed back scratching. Never really saw a hippo that looked happy. Very nice job of muting out the aquarium reflections!!!

Ooooh so sweet! he looks so happy. like the composition,his smile is the center of attraction. then the line leads to his eye and ear - facing left is less dynamic, more restful than facing right. slow movement implied
