Leopard in the Colchester Zoo

Reason: A sharp high-resolution photo successfully employing two-thirds composition, good use of depth setting (f-value), colours and lighting. The picture works great for grabbing the reader's attention. (See no:Leopard for an example)

Support as nominator --EverGreg (talk) 09:17, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Info - Need to be in a en:WP article. Otherwise, speedy close. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it would be cheating to only now include it in a en.wiki article, so I've nominated it on commons instead EverGreg (talk) 10:44, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No cheating at all -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, it's now at the bottom of the Zoo article :-) EverGreg (talk) 12:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Galleries are also not eligible. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose - I don't like that its right hand paw is cut off --Thanks, Hadseys 11:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean outside the image border, then it's not. It's 7 o'clock relative to the face. But it is partly hidden by the whiskers. EverGreg (talk) 12:23, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is a captive animal, so its EV in a non-zoo article would be limited, for a start. Beyond that, it's not sharp when viewed at full res, and the whiskers particularly look artefacted (haloing?). Obviously, if it's not in an article it's not even eligible, full stop.
