The photographer did a great job of capturing this moment in time. The image is pretty dynamic, giving the viewer visual information about this animal. I might have left a little more space at the top when cropping.

Yes, that's definitely wide enough! I didn't know hippos or anything else could open their mouth that wide. Great sharpness, detail, and clarity in the photo.

I can well believe about its snapping power! Your fine composition shows that it has a big, big mouth! Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

Nice! And no, not nearly wide enough to eat the entire boat!
Great shot!
I can only imagine the noise!
Those teeth are quite large.'
Great shot overall with subdued lighting and nice cropping.

Great contest entry....I don't think it can get any wider. Great title for the photograph. I'd give it a 6 if I had anymore left. The initial impact is superb. Great initial impact. Excellent clarity and I like the overall light and shadow effect in the shot! You have framed it well. The light, and the composition have worked well.

Very nice photo, and unlike the other image, this one is sharp. It's amazing how they get their mouths this wide. Bit like me at lunch times, ha ha. Framing is good, and I like the lighting that you've got here. Well done and good luck for the competition :-)

Comment from El-mundo


Brilliant capture in which this hippo is nearly at full 180 degree reach with it's deadly jaws; I hate to imagine what it'd be like to end up in them (although it probably wouldn't last long!). Perfect timing, excellent lighting and clarity, and cropped perfectly to the centre with no distraction, contrasting well with the murky water in which it bathes. The side on POV is perfect for the shot also; a cyber 6 on this one my friend, great work and best of luck in your competition! :)
