 I shot this on my recent trip to the zoo to play around with the newly acquired 70-200 lens. This huge Hippo yawn looked like a singer in action and the title did fit the challenge so well. I don't have very high hopes on the score but couldn't resist the temptation to submit this cool 'rock star' for this challenge. Hope it puts a smile on the voters face though.

Here is another outtake though not while singing but surely showing his media savvy grin :)

The light on this is magnificent. I love the effect of the black background. If I wanted to be picky, I would grouse about the blown out lower jaw - but that is really pretty minor. Nice job.

And that's why crocks scramble in numbers when a hippo comes a wading... Great catch and lighting against a dark background....

Wrong picture for the title???

Fantastic lighting. Not sure about the title though. Hippo and rock star are not two concepts that have come together for me before ... although a couple of rock stars may be approaching hippo size.
