a teeth cleaning might be needed here - great focus, I like being able to see all the textures of the skin.

Is that yellow thing floating in the water or flying through the air? That is a little distracting, and I'd crop a little off the top..but really like the photo!

What an amazing creature. The crop is bothering me though. Too much green on top?
04/23/2003 06:48:14 AM
Waaaaah! What a face. :) Nice capture, just a bit over exposed. Good action, composition.

He looks angry! Cool capture and well composed. The detail in the hippo is very good, he's full in focus - 9.

nice timing. hard to get action out of a hippo!
04/22/2003 10:21:09 PM
Nice shot, freezing the action. Would have been great to capture it with the mouth open. Nice lighting and colors. 7.
