    Wow, what a great shot – funnily enough that is just how I feel after dinner. Beautiful lighting, well done.

  • This bloke was hoping we would provide a bit of sport before dinner!

    Fabulous capture Adrian!

  • What a quick response! Thanks Trish. Ironically, this was the first hippo we saw in Africa and it is probably the best shot I took of one.
