[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Dutch]
Hippos open there mouths not to let you smell their breath, but to impress other male Hippos.. They rule over the Females and if other male Hippos are a treat, they warn them with this open mouth.. Aldo they look lovely, especially for children, hippos are the most dangerous animals in Africa, and causing the most human kills... Never come in between the open water and a Hippo, because they will crush you!

Awesome! Though he could see a periodontist! This is technically excellent - sharp, and with every detail clear. Well done!

Terrible mouth!He should brush his teeth.
Good captured moment!
Well done!

Its a fine moment you captured here. I like the high key exposure and its sharp. I might have given a bit more space to the composition but its a minor nit. Well done.

Great shot with lots of nice detail, very good moment and composition. And he's keeping an eye on you. This is a very good hippo shot.
