EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Baz Ratner, a group of hippos can be seen joyfully splashing water in a river at the Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia County, Kenya. The image was taken on January 6,2018, showcasing the playful nature of these magnificent creatures. The composition is beautifully framed with lush green grass and plants surrounding the riverbank. The reflection of the hippos in the calm waters adds an element of serenity to the scene. As droplets of water hang suspended in mid-air, frozen by Ratner's lens, they create a mesmerizing visual effect. These massive mammals appear to be having fun as they refresh themselves in the muddy waters. Their large bodies and powerful presence are highlighted against the coastal backdrop of Laikipia County's savannah plain. This photograph captures not only their physical beauty but also depicts their natural habitat and environment. With no people present, it allows us to appreciate these wild animals undisturbed in their natural state. Ratner's creative use of light and focus brings out every detail – from each individual hair on their thick hides to every ripple created by their energetic splashes. It serves as a reminder of the incredible wildlife that exists within our world and encourages us to protect and preserve it for future generations to enjoy.
