LA Zoo, Hippos were wrasslin' with each other. Canon 60D, f13, 1/400 sec, iso 640, 100-400 ISLii at 117 mm, cropped mostly from right side to about 80% of original. Thank you for your thoughts and your suggestions for improvements.

Excellent action shot, Ed. Great detail and color, exposure right on, and nice composition. I love that you can see hairs on the lips of the one hippo! Great job! Large view a must see. Ahhh, no cavities! enlightened

An excellent view of those teeth and eyes. Hippos are NOT NICE, despite the cute plush toys. We watched a couple fight to the death of one in Africa. Really nice image!

Neat action and unusually good eye contact for such a large animal, Ed. Your choice of framing this close really worked well.
