I would not have selected this image as a "keeper" if it was just for the hippos grazing - the foreground contrast and lines is what makes this image for me and I increased the greens and blues on purpose... the increase in saturation might be too much for some's liking and I will have a look at that... but without the foreground this image might just find its way to the recycle bin... I do not think that the foreground "distracts" from the subjects... it actually compliments them... Sometimes wildlife photography is more an "art form" than just photogrhaping the subject!
Maybe other members agree with you, but I will stick with this version and maybe have a look at the saturation...
