Support Same elephant as before, but a more generous amount of breathing room. -- Godot13 (talk) 03:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Much better framing. —Bruce1ee^talk 05:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Elephants are my favorite mammals and I've spent a lot of time with them both in India and east/southern Africa. The one thing that is frustrating about photographing elephants is that when they are calm they don't do anything of interest for a photograph. It is certainly the case with elephants in well-protected reserves. This is a good photograph but I feel it is not special enough for a featured photograph because I don't like the stance of the animal ~~and the colors are not vibrant~~. ~y (talk) 08:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. While there is unfortunately nothing I can do about the stance, I loaded another version of the image which is slightly brighter without, I hope, seeming artificial. Thanks - Godot13 (talk) 09:20, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The colors are much better now and I also see more Kruger tones in the new version! The only time I've ever had a chance to photograph an animated African elephant was the very first herd I ever saw in the Serengeti. Since then, I've seen a lot of elephants but they've all been very well-behaved. -- ~y (talk) 16:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As Yathin. This centred composition has a snapshot like feel to it. Much more can be done with elephants. B.p. 07:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We've a few better images in similar pose. J Kadavoor J e e 16:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good shot but as others I expect a bit more for an FP of an elephant Poco a poco (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above Tomer T (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I was only able to locate 7 FP images of live elephants, none of them drinking, less than half engaged in any movement. Is this image FP? Not for me to decide. But where are the FP's of elephants? With respect --Godot13 (talk) 00:37, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not everyone submits drinking elephants to FPC... B.p. 15:25, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I take every species separately; so this as an African bush elephant. I can't see much distinguishable features on this picture than the two FPs and other pictures already displayed there. My opinion may be a little biased because I'm from Kerala; I see elephants on our streets frequently. J Kadavoor J e e 06:16, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not many elephants on the street in New York ;-) --Godot13 (talk) 06:58, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
