- Comment - The picture looks like it has been either up-sampled 2x (to increase resolution) or demosaiced badly; look, for example, along the lines of the whiskers. In general this is a very good image and I like it as a portrait but it would be nice if the original photographer is around/can be contacted to correct this technical issue. - Zephyris Talk 14:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support. High quality and not an easy shot, even for a zoo - the cheetah is relaxed and apparently doesn't notice the photographer. Individual whiskers fall into the pixelation limit, and various problems will show up there. Off course it would be better to have the same image with better pixelation, but this is already 6 Mpx.

- Oppose, I'm not seeing the EV here. Seems to be just another picture of a cheetah. J Milburn (talk) 10:33, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Support. I agree there are some technical issues (jagged whiskers, strong CA in places), and that the EV could be improved. For instance, despite the difficulty of breeding cheetahs, Whipsnade has had longstanding success in this area, which the caption could mention. But the quality is good enough, and it's clearly the better of the two adult headshots in the article (and the best in commons:Category:Acinonyx jubatus, for that matter). Not just another cheetah pic. --Avenue (talk) 00:07, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
