This fits the theme well. The detail looks good. Whenever i see hippos i just think of that hungry hungry hippo commercial.

Hi Sanjeev, love the shooting angle and the wave created by the hippo. Personally I would go for some more depth in the waves. Framing works.

Hi Sanjeev - This works very well with nice detail and textures. The low pov and pano crop really make this. Steve's suggestion would take this up a notch. Do you have the crest of the wave to the rhs?

TFS,

Wonderful capture, Sanjeev. Love that eye glancing at you, and those fine water soaked hairs on the ears. Might open up the crop on L & R side of frame.

Thanks everyone. I don't have more of the wave in front. Had more space in the back but cropped a bit off for this. Agree on getting more depth in the water.

Hi Sanjeev , nice low POV of the Hippo .
Good detail and the right amount of sharpness .
Personally i think overall a bit thin in the tonal range , across the image .Might be just me.
But that is all changeable if one likes it , so no big deal.
