Oppose Soft - no fur detail - and lighting issues - subject in shadow with distracting bright background. Zoo shot so should be could and should be better for FP. Mfield (talk) 17:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sadly disappointing at fullsize. It's hard to tell what the original was like as this has been overcompressed. A better quality version could be requested, but I somehow doubt that it would reach the mark even then for some of the reasons Mfield gives. --jjron (talk) 08:04, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I've always been far too aware of the lighting problems with this photo (I just liked his expression). Going back to the original would not help much, I'm afraid. (And it's not featured on Commons - I think that was a copy&paste mistake in the nomination.) --dave pape (talk) 07:08, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
