21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Hippo Floats

A hippopotamus stands up to its eyes in a waterhole, staring toward the camera. The reflection of the clouds makes it look like it's floating in mid-air. Shot with a Nikon D850 and an 800mm lens at Kicheche Bush Camp in the Masai Mara, Kenya, in January 2021. ISO 900, 800mm, f/8, 1/1000, 2 EV
