    Hippo and seagull

    The hippo is giving a warning sign you're too close ,
    The Seagull is eying a piece of fish too big for him to pick -up .

    Regards

    I like the hippo alot, but I think it would benefit from more room in front of him.

    The wing blur on your gull is pretty nice, but the focus is a bit off from it moving . Nice image none the less!

    The hippo usually gives three warnings 1. Making some noise
    2 big yawn
    3 blowing water throuhg their noses ! then you
    must know your in some deep s**t !
    Kind regards
