Great shot Willie.
I hope it's not Callie he had for dinner,
I think he likes to swim with the hippos. ;-))).
Very good details, composition and colours.
Very well done.

Very nice one, Willie - this one already called out to me on the small preview picture. Great pose you got from the hippo, nice use of the foreground grasses to frame the head in between, and for the composition it's good that on the right there is space for him to "go into". Could be a small tad sharper but looks actually fine as is. Fun caption, too :-)

'n skoot soos hierdie is al lankal op my wishlist. This is a beautiful shot and the moment is great as well.

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Punte more.

I still can't believe you can get this sort of detail from a camcorder, so I went and read a couple of reviews, which were impressive. You are certainly getting good results and they're a joy to look at and read about. Maybe not pin sharp but a damn good one, I love the POV and composition.

This is a very good post, considering how you do this. May 2005 bring you a DSRL, so that you can show us HOW to really do things!
As for having me for breakfast, well, I'm disduised as a croc, so he think I'm the neighbour.

Nice shot, Willie. I have tried so many times to "shoot" these chaps with their mouths open. Great.

Willie, I have never had the chance to be near a hippopotamus. Even though, I can "hear" his voice through your picture.

Great job. To me, the shot seems a little funny, and that's great. Excellent note and composition.

Tones, colors are really impressive. I like the design of the photo, it is really strong to emphasize the mood of it.
