Support really nice photo, high quality and helps show a common species that surprisingly doesn't have any FP's yet-- AryKun (talk) 13:23, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good, but I don't think a photo with a cut-off tail is an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:01, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, this could have been great. However the cut off tail spoils it. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 05:29, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others.--Peulle (talk) 09:21, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't care about the few hairs and think this pic is really great. --Stepro (talk) 15:28, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Lovely motif and nice and sharp but quite small for an FP in 2021 and given that, I struggle to forgive the cut-off tail Cmao20 (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~I think Stepro has a good point; after long consideration, my personal result is Weak support. --Aristeas (talk) 08:12, 15 December 2021 (UTC)~~ Remove due to Ikan’s point below, sorry. --Aristeas (talk) 15:29, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a "least concern" species that, aside from being endemic to India and Sri Lanka, according to Wikipedia, has even "become a minor pest" in Madagascar, Réunion, Mayotte, Comoro Islands, Mauritius, Seychelles and Australia. I doubt that it's so hard to photograph that we should feature a photo of one with a slightly cropped tail. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:06, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Good point. A quick Flickr search for “Indian palm squirrel” finds 3.565 photos (there are probably more, as Flickr users often describe their photos insufficiently), many of them are very good. So it seems indeed rather easy to take photos of that species ... --Aristeas (talk) 15:29, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this species comes easily in contact with humans. There were many where I lived, and one of them came to eat in my hand. Yann (talk) 18:56, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice photo but wrongly cropped on the left --Yeriho (talk) 13:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others. --Fischer.H (talk) 15:44, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Cropped tail doesn't bother me ... I didn't notice until it was pointed out. What does do this in as an FP for me is the blurry foreground—too distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 18:44, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
