Great colours and details. The little bird in the forground makes the shot stand out.

This has taken some luck, but it is a lovely photo. Well done on the right moment !

Nothing wrong with being lucky! I liked the way you framed the shot with the two trees. Good photograph. Regards.

One of a kind,wonderfull shot.Its worth a 7/7, but site would not allow me.

Thanks for all the kind comments;

I do agree the little Robin makes the picture and I was quiet lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

 

Regards & thanks again

Ajusted a couple of things in PS elements

Hippotastic, Great shot love the way the left hippo is looking at the viewer, even with out the robin it would be still a great shot. Kevin

I think it's a bit unfair to call it luck, unless you just walked by, spent 30 seconds, snapped and walked away. Capturing unique moments takes effort and skill, putting yourself in good position and then executing when the moment arises. Otherwise Henri Cartier-Bresson would just be considered "lucky".

 

In any case, really nice shot :)

I have to confess that only spent about 5minutes taking pictures of the hippos, when the robin arrived (and only got this one with the robin in it). So I was quiet fortunate, but that is half the battle being in the right place at the right time

 

Thanks for the kind comments Donn

Your macro & animal work is great.
