•  Info c/u/n by Muhammad Mahdi Karim -- Muhammad (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support -- Muhammad (talk) 12:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Impressive. According to the scars, the creature has already had to face quite a few confrontations. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:13, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Don't think half a hippo is necessary, but the overexposed water is the real problem. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles – I miss the back part. chromatic aberration should be fixable. Good overall quality but nothing exceptional --Kreuzschnabel 16:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I don't care about the water; it's part of the background and doesn't distract me. The hippo is sharp, and I respond to the tough animal turning its head to face me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose The sharpness is fine, but the light unappealing in my view, with harsh zones in the water. -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:26, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Strong oppose per others. — Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 01:24, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
• chromatic aberration --Wilfredor (talk) 15:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Question Where is the CA, and what color? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:47, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment There is a tiny amount of green CAs at the top border, and an even smaller amount at the left and bottom borders of the hippopotamus’ body. Should I fix them? --Aristeas (talk) 17:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Even when I'm looking for the CAs, they are extremely narrow and hard to see. Fix them if you like, but I could understand why you might not want to devote time to that unless anyone says they'd change their vote on that basis. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support Support In (human) portrait photography, many people hold the view that an overexposed background is OK, and per Ikan I would tolerate it in this animal portrait, too. Sharpness is good. The CAs are extremely minor, and I can fix them if anybody wants. The right crop … is a bit odd, but it contributes to concentrate the photo on the head and facial expression of the hippo. And that is the main point of this photo: maybe this is a matter of taste, but I am really impressed by it, it’s just so very hippo. ;–) --Aristeas (talk) 17:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC) — Changed to support because minor issues have been fixed. --Aristeas (talk) 09:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles. Daniel Case (talk) 17:11, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
• Edit Uploaded an edit by Radomianin over the original that fixes the CA and exposure. Aristeas is very right about the crop, there is a place for a full body shot but a close up like this that shows the battle scars, the hairs and the overall might of the beast is what I like about it --Muhammad (talk) 07:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you, Radomianin for improving the image, and Muhammad for uploading the new version! And yes, the crop helps to direct the view towards the hippo’s impressive facial expression and battle scars. --Aristeas (talk) 09:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Yes, a good improvement. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:24, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support --Yann (talk) 16:19, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Wilfredor (talk) 22:42, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment This photo misspells "hippopotamus", so the filename should be changed at the end of this nomination. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:23, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
  •  Comment I requested a filename change. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 11:43, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
    •  Comment "At the end of this nomination", Ikan asked clearly. Now we have different names on the file and the nomination. Congrats :/ --Kreuzschnabel 11:56, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
      •  Comment Fixed. (I hope that I have found and updated all links.) --Aristeas (talk) 19:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
        •  Comment And no “thank you”, of course. People who are so greedy to criticize others should also be able to thank people who fix the problems. But no no no, criticizing is all some people here are able to. --Aristeas (talk) 15:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC) Striking out this again, sorry. (This is not the right place for such a discussion.) --Aristeas (talk) 16:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
