Howler Monkey

B&W version

This is a youg howler monkey in Costa Rica. I took the photo through a telescope thats why it has a black circle around it. its in the Howler Monkey article i think theres some feeling to this photo that makes you conect with this monkey and want to read about it.

Oppose The image is too small, and does not show enough of the animal. It also has poor color and detail, and the telescope circle is distracting. ~MDD 46 96 19:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, I appreciate the monkey is appealing, but this picture just doesn't have the other qualities we ask of FPs. Please have a look at the criteria ~ Veledan • Talk 21:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Oppose First of all the black frame caused by the telescope looks bad. The monkey is slightly off-centered. Alvinrune ^TALK 03:33, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per others.--Lewk_of_Serthic _contrib ^talk 03:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Off-centered, overly bright background. Simply not featured picture quality. --Red Penguin 07:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Another version added. I've done the best I can in the circumstances, and the only way I can make it anywhere near the featured picture standard is to discard the colour information completely. I'm sorry, this is a decent photo of a howler monkey, and alright for the article, but it is a long way from Featured Picture. Oppose —Vanderdecken∴∫ξ φ 11:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose reasons already stated Calderwood 14:38, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A million miles away from FPC quality - Adrian Pingstone 17:06, 6
Comment I checked past featured pics and i see you´re right. Quality is just not enough. Danielchaves

I like the new version much better than the original one, but I still have to oppose. It doesn't show the subject properly. From this picture, I can't tell if the monkey has a tail or a red bottom. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not even close. chowells 14:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The black is better but still not a very clear picture of the monkey. Sorry. sikander 16:04, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
