Look at that gooey gunk! Love this photo.
Jim B22-Dec-2004 10:03
It's a great shot, Herb; I have now come back to it three times. Is the hippo angry (my first thought), but now I think maybe he is relaxed. His eyes are telling me a lot, but I am still not sure what it is.

I love photos like this; a great image to look at, but what is even more fun is to actually think about the subject.

Well Done!
Christin Tröger22-Dec-2004 09:16
Great perspective,looks like you had a wonderful day.
Mario Presecki22-Dec-2004 08:41
Great shoot and interesting reflection on hippos head.
Guest 22-Dec-2004 07:04
wonderful shot and detail.
Guest 22-Dec-2004 05:17
Was he sneaking up on you, or you sneaking up on him. Either way,, you caught the shot! Well done! vote
Robin Reid22-Dec-2004 05:13
This is a big surprise...I thought I'd see something from the Park part of the Park. Very well done...you really had to get down on his level to get the shot. Did you wade in?
Fun day today Herb. Thanks a lot.
