Lunchtime
Feeding time at the zoo. Takes a lot of produce to feed a hippo.
Shot with a 20D and my doorbuster. Canon 28-300L f3.5-5.6 IS
At 3.7 pounds, it's a log but makes for a great zoo lens.
105mm @ 1/160sec f6.3 ISO 100 -1.67EC

Fun picture!
Did you shoot in continous mode, or single shot?

Interesting how clear the hippo is yet there is blur of the lettuce. That head of lettuce must have had some velocity. Good catch.
Tom nice shot. Were you in the pen with the Hippo? The angle had me thinking how you got the side angle with most zoo pens being flat. To catch that lettuce ball in flight on single shot is a great shot. Did you taken any other shots, or was this the one and only?
Tom, just something to think about on this image... the large bright area on the left, and the pink ball on the right are a bit obtrusive to the viewer's attention. I tried several alternate crops on this, and I found that perhaps a square format crop that focuses the attention on the lettuce and just the hippo's head would work better here.
What do you think?
I can post or email you an example of what I'm talking about, if you'd like.
