A closeup shot of an alpine marmot on the mountain side in the Massif des Écrins national park. Used in the Marmot gallery and the Alpine Marmot page. I took it myself.

Oppose - Nice picture, but soft focus on the animal. HighInBC 18:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - while soft focus may be appropriate for such a cute little bugger, I have to agree focus is a problem, as well as the shadow that obscures much detail. Debivort 20:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Out of focus. Also blends in too much with the background. Mikeo 20:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per above. --Tewy 03:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - looks like digital zoom was used, or it was blown up afterwards to meet the size requirements. Stevage 08:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, digital zoom was not used, nor was the picture blown up. To be fair the camera isn't exactly perfct for this kind of use, and I wasn't really expecting this picture to do really well. Thanks for the criticism though. DevAnubis 09:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The shadow is very distracting. The composition isn't exceptional either. Saurabh Rahurkar 20:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
