• Support as nominator --Benjamint 13:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Attractive picture, encyclopedic value is high. WiiWillieWiki 20:10, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
• Comment - Very nice picture. I know is not its fault to be so small and dark, but I find it a bit hard to see at standard wiki article size. I would suggest a slightly tighter crop option. I also would like to know where was this photo taken (i.e. what is that stick and aranged stones in the background?). Elekhh (talk) 20:18, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

• Crop added. It was orphaned by a car accident when it was still in the pouch and has been hand-reared. It's technically wild (now independant of people) but still visits the rescue centre garden on a daily basis for water. A lot of wild animals behave this way in summer in my area because a household will often have the only water for several kilometers. For a hand-reared animal it was remarkably timid, probably because I was a stranger. Benjamint 00:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks. I find the crop definitely better. Thanks also for the background info. Do you happen to know than exactly how old is it? If yes, I think it would be valuable info to be added to the image summary. Weak support Alt - I still find it a bit too dark. Elekhh (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

• Comment Any chance of a few more pixels on the crop? I'm finding it fairly borderline detail wise. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:38, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

• Done --Benjamint 01:23, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
