Hello John,
The big girl is well depicted, in her rightful element!
Fine rich colours and pleasant details, the tiny reflection adds interest value!

salut john,
bon retour avec cette image de zoo, c'est une bonne occasion de faire de bons clichés. Excellente netteté et couleur rosée.
Simple mais efficace.

Hi John,
Nice detail, color, and exposure in your profile headshot..The only thing I might've done different, would've been to crop the top edge, eliminating the man-made element.
Well done!

always a bit comical and friendly looking these killers in the wild can take off an arm with ease
i like the warm tones here against the usually dull skin...
we have had them outside our room on safari browsing the bushes..at night..when it cool
your shot makes me think its time to go RAW!!
thanks

John,
One of our Hippos at the Calgary Zoo died 5 weeks ago. So very sad. I did get photos of them both, however. Shall post next week. One was making "poo".
Loved your notes.
The colours are beautiful.

Hello John. You have very few posts here and I am looking forward to see more from your caliber in photography. You have wide variation of species posted and this is a nice shot of a hippo even if it was from the zoo. The sharpness and detail are well seen and the reflection on the surface make a good perspective. Well done and keep posting. Regards. Jusni
