Leaving the Congo

This Hippo is crossing the Ishasha River , which despite its narrowness is the border between the DRC and Uganda, we were on the Ugandan side. The muddiness in the river was caused by recent heavy rain.

Liking this one a lot, Ken, for its unusual perspective of an open mouthed hippo. You did great to keep all the main subject in the focal plane, too. I even like the muddy water matching the color tones of the hippo.
