Info Because awww. More seriously, this is a high-resolution shot with excellent quality of an endangered species, and it's far superior to the existing FPs: this one, which is a similar view of the face alone but which has much lower resolution than this shot, and this one which shows the whole animal but is very low-resolution for an FP nowadays. created by Llez - uploaded by Llez - nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 13:56, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I don't like zoo pictures. They never can outclass wildlife pictures or reach the same status. --Hockei (talk) 17:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understood; thanks for the review. Personally I don't mind zoo pictures as long as it isn't obvious that this is an unnatural setting, and of course for some less common animals zoos can be the best realistic opportunity to get a high quality image. It is worth noting that both the other FPs of red pandas are also of zoo specimens. Cmao20 (talk) 20:49, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It doesn't change my sensation. I'll never support zoo pictures in FPC. This has nothing to do with whether I find the quality bad or good. Certainly are zoo pictures of rare animals and plants valuable and maybe important for documentation. But nothing for FPC in my eyes. BTW, I gave no oppose but a neutral. Although I don't like the background. --Hockei (talk) 16:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
