Comment F4 was not ideal. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Why not? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:56, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment shallow depth of field so nose is not in focus though eyes are very sharp. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment And why would that be a problem? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 13:32, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the nose and whiskers and more of the ears should be in focus, but at 2m (I'm guessing) DoF is only 18mm. I am also not keen on the tilted composition and cropped ears (it's not a cropped image), but that's a matter of taste. With zoo photography, I imagine there is usually more opportunity to get settings right than in the wild. The light can't have been great and a higher ISO (on this body) might have resulted in unacceptable noise. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:48, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While I agree with you that this doesn't qualify as a featured image, I'm perfectly ok with a shallow depth of field. What's important to me is that the eyes are in focus in an image like this. In general, I think we're sometimes leaning too much towards "everything should be sharp in an image". This is just a reminder that no such rule exists. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Awkward crops notwithstanding, this does not stand out among our many, many cat pictures. To say nothing of the Internet's practically endless supply of cat pictures. Daniel Case (talk) 18:10, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is not a domestic cat. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:18, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose per above, very cute and beautiful but I am not sure it stands out particularly considering some of the quibbles over image quality Cmao20 (talk) 00:04, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
