Support - Perhaps a bit cool, but good quality. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:32, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Composition is slightly unbalanced, can't tell why it feels like that, but how about cutting off about 5% from the right and top? --Janke | Talk 11:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer it with the eyes central and certainly wouldn't want to crop the top. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:43, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the top needs cropping, but tend to agree with Janke that the indistinct background (due to shallow DOF) could be cropped somewhat on the right and maybe even a bit on the left. (I find expanses of unfocused background distracting: The eye tends to search for some visual information about variations in the blurry tableau.) Sca (talk) 14:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see subjective issues of cropping mentioned under Featured Picture Criteria... Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:15, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not - we just told you what we think/feel... Besides, I already supported! ;-) Somehow, I'd like to see the "face circle" centered within the frame - not that it affects EV at all, but would make for a more striking (and larger!) image on the Main Page... --Janke | Talk 18:40, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Having opined re cropping above, I find the image of animal's face quite striking. Sca (talk) 16:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
