Essence of Hippopotamus

I have a similar image, but only in my head, and this clearly communicates the surprise and terror I felt early that morning in the same place. I’d not change a thing! A “great” image? Maybe not but it works for me.

This was the other great scare I had. This time the camera was on auto and the light was good. I think I activated the shutter on reflex, and I cerettainly was not pointing the camera at anything in particular. Sheer luck.

A fright

I didn’t see her until I was right on top of her. Taken in the last light before sunset. [Lioness] What technical feedback would you like if any? What artistic feedback would you like if any?
