- Description: Taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa, a hippopotamus surfaces almost imperceptibly from still water. Only its eyes, ears and the upper curve of its head are visible, while the immense body remains concealed below. The image plays with scale and presence, reducing one of Africa’s largest land mammals to a small, watchful interruption in the landscape.
