•  Info There are currently no FPs of hippos outside the water - all six FPs of hippos we have are swimming and thus partly concealed by the water, so this offers something different. (Also none of them can match this photo for resolution). I agree there is a bit of noise at full size but honestly for a 46 megapixel image shot at 600mm focal length from a super-telephoto lens I think the quality is excellent, look at the amount of detail visible on the hippo's skin, and everything seems sharp. Also nice to have the great egret in the photo too, and adds value because as far as I understand it this is an example of symbiosis - the egret eats parasites and insects off the hippo that could otherwise hurt or irritate it. created by Poco a poco - uploaded by Poco a poco - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 11:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Support This is really solid work, and I'm ultimately supporting per nom because since it's too dangerous to be close to a wild rhinoceros, this is probably as good as it can be. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:17, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks Ikan Kekek, I quite agree with this (hippo not rhino btw, but hippos are even more dangerous to be close to) but I would also note for anyone unsure how to vote that the resolution of this image is pretty immense - one can produce from it this 10 megapixel downsample which is absolutely tack sharp with no noise and which would imo be sufficient to pass FP by itself, so the extra size on top of that is a bonus really.

• I agree, though I guess Poco did not have a chance to take a photo with better lighting. Overall this remains FP to me regardless but I respect your opinion. Cmao20 (talk) 23:01, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
