Six-banded Armadillo

I think that´s a nice picture of an interesting animal. The photo shows a good composition of the entire animal in a non-distracting environment. It also has a quite good resolution (2000X1500), a nice DOF and a soft and homogeneous tonality.

Weak oppose. Tighter cropping would be preferable. Also, a side view would be much more encyclopedic, and there are some blown highlights on its claws and face. Overall, the quality is all right, but not FP material. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 16:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ it's encyclopaedic, but artistically I would have preferred a lower point of view, and not to have the subject staring at the camera, to get away from that "I stuck my camera over the rail at the local zoo" feeling. Other than that, the detail is good and the colours are nice, although the shadow is a bit distracting. Stevage 23:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak support for crop. It's actually still pretty high resolution. Stevage 11:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak Oppose~~. A side view would have been more preferable, as would a tighter crop. NauticaShad e s 09:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Support. The crop is an improvement. NauticaShad e s 15:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well, I think you´re right in your opinions. Anyway, I´ve uploaded a new version of the image, trying to minimize some of the picture´s flaws. Thanks. - Exlibris 12:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Better than no picture of an Armadillo, but doesn't strike me as exceptional or particularly gorgeous. For encyclopedic value I'd also prefer a less frontal view. --Dschwen 20:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
