Opinions and suggestions for improvement are appreciated!

This was taken with my old Elan. Scanned from the negative with an Epson 4870. What's shown is the full frame.

    Chris, heard from Christine...

    About the shot. I like the close up. Almost looks like sleeping critters :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you. After visiting Africa, I have a much greater appreciation for Hippos. Hard for zoos to do them justice. They look like they're having so much fun in their natural environment.

    Thanks, Harry! I'm glad your surgery went well. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of your archives while you can't shoot new ones!

    I appreciate it, Nir! This is one of my favorite shots I brought back from Africa. It's already framed, but I think a little digital tweaking makes it pop a bit more. I just hope it wasn't too obvious.
