[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A big mouth Hippo!!
He show his bigness to scare everyone from his territory.
Big male hippos are most dangerous animal in Africa.
Every year they kills more people than lions, snakes, crocos and any other animal in Africa.

Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda is one of the best park in Africa to meet hippos.

Tanks for looking,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
Very good action scene you have captured here! Looking at this fat boys teeth I don't think I want to be in the water with him...
Great color on the Hippo, and excellent DoF.

Hi Andrea,
Excellent photo with a great action. The colors and light of this one a perfect. I really like the low, almost water level, POV. Makes me feel as if I am swiming in the same river.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Andrea,
What a great catch.
The light on him is beautiful. The POV is wonderful.
I hope he does not unlock his jaws from this huge yawn.

Hi Andrea,
This is an excellent shot! Perfect timing on this one. The action is frozen perfectly. Quality of light was superb.

Great picture blue seem a little on the purple side but not so that it detracts from the image which is realy good. Well captured.

Power of the nature! The power of the evolution, Africa possesses the most beautiful copies of the carbon triumph in Earth, big, strong, and colofull!! Its very necessary to take care well of that nature!
Congratulations!
