Really nice image of the Hippo. He looks like he wants to tear something or someone to pieces.

Lots of action here, Jagdeep. Pity you couldn't get lower down to where the action was - that would have been one helluva image, believe me!

Great action image. Focus and detail are right on. Nice back light also.

Hi Jagdeep,
Good timing and your techs look spot-on in this shot. I've had no experience with these animals myself, but between this and the stories I've heard about them makes me appreciate the respect they must be shown! In a perfect world I think it would be great if more of the inside of the mouth was visible (specifically a better look at the teeth), but I totally get that in these situations one largely gets what they get! I'm in agreement with Ajit that a lower angle might have made the shot even better, but have no clue if this was possible or not...
Cheers...thanks for sharing this.

It looks great to me. Perhaps if this is not full frame, a little more room?
