As you've gotten from a lot of the previous commenters, this doesn't seem to relate to sports for the majority of people. Without the title, it wouldn't fit at all.

While a fatastic capture, the photo is a bit boring. The majority of the photo is made up of shades of brown. It also seems to me that the focus is on some of the weeds in the front, rather on the hippo's feet.

Keep shooting.

There is too much of a stretch on this one. Aside from that, the brush in the foreground is very distracting, there is a dust spot very visible in the water. I'm sure at some point the hippo turned over. I would have recommended to take it again after that happened. And then work with both the levels and contrast in pp as well.

Interesting photo, but not remotely connected to Sports

Funny shot, but it requires the caption to meet the challenge. I would crop or zoom in more to get rid of much of the monotonous background
