great light indeed on this chap, Marc...and good timing to include the splashes...
was it startled by the microlight?
I always get fascinated by the scars on their bodies - the diagonal line of motion adds a lot here too.
Marc - an unusual pov and I agree with Morkel that the scars and splash enhance greatly. Nice light, sharpness and head turn too.
TFS,

Hi Marc,
what a great image, the back of this Hippo, oh well, poor chap, but actually still lucky that it was able to escape.
Love the little turn of the head. I like the light and the water very much in this.
