Water Nymph is wonderful! There are no visual cues that the hippo is anywhere other than in it's natural habitat. Beyond that it is simply an arresting image: interesting angle with just those eyes and nostrils coming towards us. Very dynamic!
The other one is very good. I like the way you caught him (her? who can tell?) mid stride but I don't imagine that in the rare instances that hippos leave the water they go much beyond a muddy riverbank. That background looks rather zoo-like to my non-zoologist eye.
