Thanks, Rick. I'll play around with the BG as you suggest. The Hippo is about 40m away. It was quite aware of us. There have been 2 resident Hippos in Sable Dam for some months. That unexpected 45mm rain a couple of weeks ago topped the Dam up to about 80% again so it should now easily last out to the rainy season.

This is a really nice shot. Even at that distance, it looks as though the hippo 
is keeping an eye on you.

Another from our jaunt this morning. An Ox-Pecker looking for ticks on a Hippo 
at the N end of Sable Dam. In the BG is the bird hide at the SE corner some 
700m distant.

K5 & HD 55-300 @ 300mm. This lens does so well.
