    It's rare to find a hippo out of the water during the day and I was especially pleased when he then decided to yawn. 40D, 100-400 L IS, ISO 320, 7.1, 1/320.

    Great subject, pose, yawn, and head angle. Light mediocre, BKGR distracting... It looks as if the face and head could use some selective sharpening.

    Why f7.1? The Hippo is kind of parallel to the focus plane. f5.6 would have isolated the subject better and the background would have become more out of focus.

    Neat pose and look in the eye. I might try to remove the branches in the BG visible through the mouth.
