Thanks Steve, that looks good. I was worried about cropping too much more (as you know I don't like pixel bashing). Unfortunately placing them higher in frame wasn't possible due to the edge of the cliff/riverbank and additional hippos below. The pano works though. I think it is an oxpecker though not sure if red or yellow billed.
Thanks again,
Rachel

I like both versions.. This is a very good image! Love the grouping of the hippos... Lighting wasn't the greatest but you handled it quite well Rachel.

Nice shot Rachel, I like the newly revealed white feet, never seen that before. I like the pano crop, and slightly darker tones, I think it brings more attention to the hippos.

Hi Rachel -- Very nice image and scene , i also never seen there feet or rather noticed that sort of colour diff. I am inclined towards Steve's RP , has certainly made the image much more pleasing.
TFS !

Rachel can,t make up my mind re the cropping,like it both ways yours gives the viewer a better look of the general environment and Steve's concentrates more on the magnificent animals.

Both versions work, but I liked seeing the environment in the OP, it shows something different to the norm. Great to see all 3 hippos giving a good pose./

Hi Rachel, great view of the three youngsters, and I like that they are 'huddled' together. Detail looks great, as we can see the scratch marks on the closer youngster. I have never seen the whites/pinks on their feet before, and it looks like only their front feet. The pano version works best for me.

A sweet scene Rachel! Those feet are adorable.
I am fine with the original framing. I have yet to get to South Luangwa!
