Wonderful action shot Jagdeep, love the semi-crazed looks in the eyes of both subjects!

Really like the action you caught! It would have been nice to see abit more of the hippo on the left, but still a very interesting image. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jagdeep,
Love the action and agree with Ashley about the impact of those eyes - just wonderful. I think in a way that this is a tough shot to effectively present on the web - in a way I'd like to see a looser crop (if this isn't full frame), but at the same time if you did that then the detail in the head (and especially those eyes) would be lost somewhat. But don't get me wrong - I think the image as presented is very good, but just that it might be even better as a large print (with a slightly looser crop).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
Brad

Love the action. I do think it is a bit tight as some of the others have mentioned....but all in all a very nice moment captured!

Jagdeep, love the action in this (who wouldn't?) shot! This really show how ferocious these guys can be. I also wish this was a looser crop, but if it is fill frame, I might be tempted to crop more form the top making almost a pain to bring the viewer into the action.

Nice action. Like the open mouth and the intense look in the eyes. Like the turbulent water as well.
