Description
A loving hippopotamus couple shares a kiss in a digital artwork that combines multiple photographs and artistic elements using a variety of in camera and post processing techniques to create a colorful and painterly piece of art.
Hippos were once a widespread species with populations throughout Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and and Africa. Many of those species have become regionally extinct and they are now found primarily in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. The greatest threats facing Hippos are human related activities like construction and development causing loss of habitat, disturbances from war and civil unrest, and hunting/poaching for their meat and teeth.
30% of all proceeds from the sale of this piece, including prints and products containing this image will be donated to support wildlife conservation.

When I saw this title, I knew I'd have to look at the gallery, as I don't see too many pieces featuring hippos. I love this. So sweet swee and I love the effects you chose for it. I'm going to share this one to my Facebook page as it's so unique to me. Great work. This has been chosen as one of today's features in the Digital Art and AI Art Group
