  • Comment The photo is great, but thanks to that witch Mother Nature he blends into the background quite a bit. But it's not horrible, and it couldn't be fixed, so who cares. I like the blood near his paws, the color is brought out nicely, but there's some motion blur around his face. Quite odd because his body & tail are all in great focus and detail, but as soon as you look into his head and facial area it begins to blur. I don't know how that happened, maybe he began to turn his head just as the picture was taken. Or maybe I'm crazy. Someone clear this up. ---Saw1998 (talk) 18:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I don't have any problem with the slight motion blur. I don't believe that the problem is fixable, so why worry about it? Dusty777 02:03, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
