They do look comfy and relaxed, just kickin back. I'm a little thrown off by the third headless body at the back, but since they are semi submerged half the time it isn't a deal breaker. Really like the quality of the light, suits the happy hippos.

Gary,
I know what you mean about the third Hippo, too difficult to remove
Russell,
Thanks very much

Sure do like the pose and placement of the two heads. Yeah, the 3rd hippo is a bit of a distraction, but those two heads grab most of my attention so the distraction is minor.

I think the facila expression of the hippo on the right makes this shot for me, and I too especially like the soft light.
