Support good EV --Muhammad(talk) 05:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support As above, good EV and also nice quality shot... It's amzing how violent these guys are despite their cuddly appearance! Gazhiley (talk) 10:33, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Coincidentally I photographed a koala today. I am curious about the violence though, almost all they seem to do is sleep when I see them. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:46, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nice shot - every considered it for here? Yeah I heard they can get very aggressive - especially if handled... The article seems to mention it under behaviour, and draws reference to political issues raised around this behaviour... I must admit though the two I got to hold in a zoo both seemed very dosile and quiet, but who knows if they were 100% compusmentus... They do sleep a lot though... Maybe they are the furry version of teenagers - sleep all day and get angry if disturbed! Gazhiley (talk) 11:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support nice --George Chernilevsky ^talk 12:01, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This iamge appears to be saved with the AdobeRGB colour profile. This is going to cause some problems for viewers. I actually only noticed when the preview on the image page had vastly different tones to the full sized image (I assume Imagemagick strips the profile metadata and assumes it's sRGB). To be entirely honest though, the preview image looks more natural than the full version with AdobeRGB which is a little too red hued IMO, and that is puzzling. Benjamint, you haven't shot it in AdobeRGB and then done your post-processing in software that doesn't recognise colour profiles, did you? ;-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 20:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Alternative 1 ~~assuming the colour profile issue is fixed.~~ Very nice image, and extra EV for showing the mother/baby interaction too. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 00:04, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It was shot in RAW and then converted with ACR which would have applied AdobeRGB. I've uploaded a new version and tweaked the color balance very slightly.. I think it should all be correct now. Most past uploads should be fine since I had only begun using RAW at about that point :-) Benjamint 00:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- ACR only applies AdobeRGB if you tell it to. Best not to if your images are going to appear on the web. You can always go back to the RAW files and export an AdobeRGB version when you specifically need one, but yeah, keep the default as sRGB. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like this one over at least one of the existing FP's, a delist-and-replace might be in order, or if this one passes a delist on one of the previous FP's might be in order. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 12:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
