  • Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment I don't like the composition, maybe because it's vertical, maybe because it's too tight for me. Also the focus seems to be slightly ahead of the animal, I don't think that motion is the only reason for the relative lack of sharpness. I do not wish to vote though, it is a rare and impressive picture. --Eusebius (talk) 10:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

It's categorized as a Panthera pardus and called a leopard (corresponding vernacular name) in the description, I'm not a specialist but it looks reasonably identified. --Eusebius (talk) 17:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Symbol support vote.svg Support - although a zoo animal, the behaviour shown wouldn't be obtainable in the wild (other than extracted from the camera posthumously!). Which subspecies of Leopard is shown would be useful to know, but from the zoo's location, very likely African P. p. pardus. - MPF (talk) 22:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote.svg Oppose -- It is a very interesting photo but it misses the point. There is no feeling of motion, due to the angle and too tight crop. At first sight it looks like the animal is sitted. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
