Two BIG Hippo Teeth
by Denise

San Francisco Zoo

Finally, the hippo was out of the water. He was wet and it was very sunny.
There was no chance of getting a good shot of the entire animal. I settled for the teeth.

Whoever would have thought something so ugly could be so beautiful.
If anyone could work that magic, it's you, Denise.

Denise, what you settled for is just right for this challenge...an unusual and large pair of teeth. Looks like the zoo keeps them cut down a bit...I imagine they could be very dangerous. I like the lighting, detail, and perspective here. I rarely get a view of a hippo out of the water...nice to see a shot so up-close-and-personal. Nice photo, Denise. MFC
