EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and playfulness of a Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) as it splashes in the pristine waters of Chobe River, Botswana, Africa. The vibrant colors of this image bring to life the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. The hippo, one of Africa's most iconic mammals, takes center stage in this horizontal composition. Its massive body is half submerged in water, with its head section dominating the foreground. The focus on the hippo's expressive face allows us to admire its rugged features and piercing eyes. In this moment frozen in time by photographers Ann & Steve Toon, we witness an intimate glimpse into the daily life of these magnificent creatures. With no one else around, we are transported to a remote corner of nature where wildlife thrives undisturbed. The Chobe River serves as both playground and sanctuary for these wild animals. As droplets fly through the air from its exuberant splash, we can almost feel their refreshing coolness against our skin. This photograph not only showcases the extraordinary fauna that inhabits Africa but also invites us to contemplate our connection with nature. It reminds us that there is still so much wonder left to explore on this planet and encourages us to protect these precious ecosystems for future generations.
