Hi Benyamin.
You have shared a very amazing photo. Excellent captured moment, POV, details and colours. It seems to me, may be, the contrast is a bit strong. Nevertheless the shot is superb. TFS.

Great hipposhot. He should brush his teeth though.
I find these water shoots really difficult to get right because of all sun reflections in the water. But this one looks ok

these guys are killers and you have shown how they do it...
nice to look at but dont go out at night in the bushes if you are near a river bank..
they browse at night..and make a helluva noise.

Hello Ben,
Very nice shot! You've captured him from a very good POV and with some nice details. Picture is a bit overexposed what is a bit distracting, but apart from that it's a good picture.
WELL DONE!

Espectacular captura Benyamin con un perfecto POV y DOF.
Aunque los colores se aprecian levemente saturados, no desmerecen la calidad de la composición.
Gracias por compartirla.

Spectacular capture Benyamin with a perfect POV and DOF.
Although the colors are appraised slightly saturated, not be unworthy of the quality of the composition.

This is a cool shot showing expert timing, fab colours and sharpness. Those teeth look like they need a clean!
