I think these three images do.
There's a triptych looking for a printer.

I feel the last could benefit from being a fraction wider, but nonetheless still good. They are all really nice and sharp and with well chosen dof.

and what a set of teeth it is
no wonder these bad boys cleanup humans in africa!

Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 3:37 pmI agree with Gary and Gerry.
Perhaps try B&W triptych. Colour is not adding a whole lot to this picture.
Holy carp, I didn't think these boys were human eaters! We should be glad that we just have crocs.

Great shots...these would make a nice series!

Chica, At about 1:30 on Sundays (if there is a photography class going) they feed the hippos carrots, hay on the bank, then finish with a Hippo Mouth Wash - unfortunately I had too much lens but will find out from Lindsay (who does the courses) when it's on next and let you know
Shot these with the 70-200 F2 with 1.4 ..so exif for these shots ISO 320, 1/200 F4 @180 but it was quite dark and overcast at the time.
they love the squirt with a hose

I've been on one of those photo classes. I didn't find the class that great, but those hippos sure can open their mouths.
