There's only one word that springs to mind when i see this photo: FUN! Call that odd, considering my age, but it really makes me feel happy. A fantastic shot. To me, it sums up the challenge's title. 10/10 :D
OK, since this was obviously set up on a seamless background I don't understand the decision not to have hippo completely in the frame. Otherwise, technically a very nice shot.
This is teh Cheese baby isn't it? hang on, going to check!.......IT IS!!!! HA! Your kid is getting to as easy to spot as mine, LOL! I love this shot! Great work! A 9
Studio quality color, tonal range and sharpness but perhaps a little too much 'white' space to the right of the frame. Flipping the image from left to right would keep my eyes in the frame for alonger time.
