hello and welcome to epz.
good shot taken with a super compact. just gos to show that for straightforward subjects you dont need a dslr to get a result. the sharpness and exposure is just fine.
compositionally its a bit static with the mouth low in the water, a nice snapping of the jaws would be good and splashy, but i like the bit of a diagonal agle on the head.
i think it could maybe do with a little cropping from the top but otherwise its a good effort.
look forward to seeing more of your work on epz
regards
Phil
I would prefer to see a tighter crop at the top, just above his right ear and a little more space added to the left. (re the top, use the scroll bar on this page to see what I mean)
I am unsure about your camera's minimum aperture but the elns just might perform better at f11. (I am not saying there is anything wrong in that regard, it is generally a fact though).
A very good picture.

Hello, Phyllis, and welcome to the site.
You ask if more of the hippo should have been included, and my answer would be No, it's a fine close and detailed shot, and I like the angle of the hippo's head.
The composition is ok. If, however, you have cropped this from a larger image, try leaving a little more water on the left, to give the hippo a bit more room to move into.

Welcome. Nice shot. Ive cropped some space from the bottom, thats simialr to having more Hippo at the top, and Ive also brightened a little, it in my mod, - scroll up to the modifications tab.
Excellent detail, sharp, and good tone.
Enjoy the site.
