Comment Sorry, this doesn't meet the minimum size criteria (1000px on the long axis). upstate NYer 21:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per what Noodle snacks said of the image at WP:PPR, copied and pasted below; Nezzadar ^[SPEAK] 00:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it'd pass on the basis of borderline resolution and image quality. Also there is a lot of stuff in the way and we can't see most of the python or the deer. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Per Nezzadar's copy-pasta of myself. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty awesome points for Noodle snacks for gratuitous use of pasta... Nezzadar ^[SPEAK] 17:21, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not for the 10 pixels missed by NYer, but for the obstruction of the subject(s) by the branches. However I understand the photographer did not dare to get closer, or take the obstructions away! I think it would have a good chance to meet WP:VPICS.

Oppose You have to spend too much time looking at the image to actually figure out what is going on. It is indeed shocking. But, it's confusing, and I do not feel it adds value to the article. NoFlyingCars (talk) 21:41, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Does not meet size requirements and doesn't show the subject well --ZeWrestler ^Talk 01:17, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
