Nice hippo shot! One of the better ones I've seen...probably because it's at a different angle. You might try cropping the top of this out just above (his) left ear because your eye tends to go to the brightest part of the photo.

| This is an awesome study of a hippo's mug. I never thought about them having hair on their nose. They are dangerous in the wild. I read somewhere that they kill more people than cocks and lions combined in Africa. This one seems quite docile in this shot. |

| OMG OMG ... this is the most awesome close-up imaginable ... i just love it .... i feel like i could reach and pat him/her .. altho having said that i believe that these critters are pretty dangerous ... it is a hippo isnt it ?? ... it would go well with the close-up of the cow on my profile page called 'in your face' ... they are both pretty ugly and both need a shave .... also a tissue wouldnt go astray either .. mine needs the tissue to clean up the snot around her nose .. yours ... hmmmm .... a tissue just wouldnt do it would it ?? ... ..:) |

| I didnt get to vote on this challenge (I so wish I could have). I would have scored this a 6-7. Very cool shot - I wish I had hippos at our zoo. Great focus and detail on him overall and cool colors. I think my only issue is the cropping out of the eye onthe left. I think I would have liked to have seen all of it in the shot which may have given you more of his cool snout as well. Overall - good stats (a 6 would have been better and more appropriate IMO) and only having 5 votes 3 and under is great. Nice work here. |

Wow! Quite vivid!!! I noticed you've gotten pretty good DOF with this for aperture of F4.5 - sweet.
Can't believe this was sub 6. :( Makes me feel a tad bit better about my own entry. He-he.
Anyway...very nice shot, well done! |

| Terrific detail, though I wish there was just a little more space between the frame and the eye on the left. |
