I like the low pov you had Ken. The colors are great as well as the detail in the hippo. Very cool shot.

This is so cool. The detail, the gorgeous colors, the look in the hippo's eyes, the warm light. The large image is great. The detail in the skin is great. Nice one!

Great low perspective is what makes it interesting to me. Others have commented favorably on colors, but to me they feel unnaturally over-saturated. That said the quality of the light is nicely pleasing.
