Came across this fella.  A rare opportunity to get close to the incisors that kill most people in Africa.  Not the Lion, Buffalo, Leopard, Cheetah or Elephant, but the Hippo.  On my bucket list, is the eye level shot in late afternoon light.  One day.  

Nikon D3 and 300 F2.8.  

Just a bit of fun, not to be taken seriously.  Thank you for looking and hope all well and safe.  

Taken by the Talek river in Kenya, near the Tanzania border.

Ok to look at uncompressed.  Thanks

Cool image David.
Personally I would love to see one in black and white with a high contrast on it.

Wow- what a sight! I guess this one is not going to get anyone. Had no idea they were so dangerous to humans. Thanks for this amazing view.
