Support the crop top is a little bit off-putting, but otherwise a very nice image. Cat-five t c ---- 09:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I'd like to support, but the crop is too tight, with clipped head. Commons has several full-body shots, but they look unsharp at full size. Looks like it could be retaken easily. Brandmeister^talk 17:23, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - is it possible to redo the crop or is it the shot itself? Atsme^📞📧 19:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose due to tight crop - a full head would provide better EV. --Janke | Talk 20:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support – due to crop (or framing), but it's an interesting species and detail of coat and eyes is very good. Sca (talk) 15:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice photo, but the tight crop/zoom significantly reduces the EV. Nick-D (talk) 10:04, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
