    Superb image Vivaldo with excellent IQ and great sense of movement resulting from the splash. Nice low angle and BG.

    Great shot Vivaldo, the colour, the action, the detail in the hippos skin and the impact of this image are all first class. A winner for sure
    cheers

    well captured, good IQ, sharp were it matters, nice eye contact, frozen droplets add to the sense of action.

    would tone the yellows a wee bit, some hot highlights around noise which are always problematic when water and sun are involved ...

    Excellent IQ here Vivaldo and can only echo others comments. POV, detail, pose, water drops all working well. Perhaps having a background only comprising of water would be the only change I can think of which would add to the image, but I don't find it particularly distracting so well done.
