Nice golden light and the dripping water off the chin is a nice touch. Skin looks a bit overly smoothed but maybe its a layer of wet mud?
Marc,
I like the vertical comp but wish you had been more to the right to have gotten a better head angle. I guess you just never know when they are going to do something.
Hi Marc
Anytime we suggest moving here we know at times is just not possible :) ... don't want you out of that hide !!!... btw hope its sturdy !!!
Light was harsh but you got a goo exposure. btw is there mud on his snout? Neat looking animal !!!
However sturdy the hide might be, I won't love the Hippo to bang it. :D I am sure it would be exciting watching these giants from close quarters.
I love its teeth. I would try to bring down the colour temperature a bit, that would also help in the white patch of skin near its mouth.
Cheers,
