Neutral A very stereotypical composition - I feel I've seen it before even though I haven't. And could be larger. So I won't support it. But it's perfectly clear and sharp, and nothing wrong with the composition. And nothing quite like it is featured yet, as far as I can see at a glance. It is a very different shot to Image:Giraffe08 - melbourne zoo.jpg, and probably a better one. So lots of reasons not to oppose either. Regards, Ben Aveling22:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support the foreground grass is slightly distracting, but I didn't even notice it for a while, so that means it's not important. I don't know if this is an image crop or downsampled, but I'd like it larger (ack Ben Aveling). -- Ram-Man04:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Info The right one (head left) won! After 12 minutes (8:36 - 8:48 am) of vigorous neck blows, the left one abandoned apparently not wounded. During the match a female (I guess) was observing behind a tree. --LucaG20:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question According to metadata, this was taken with a camera capable of 6.3megapixel and it's been photoshopped since. Was it downsampled or cropped? Regards, Ben Aveling12:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Info It's a downsampled image not cropped. I know that you and Ram-Man would prefer a larger composition but when I was in the field with camera on tripod I took the necessary time to frame the shot as I like: as close as possible. Sometimes I prefer close-ups of animals like this Rhinoceros or even this Pelican. Less encyclopedic but more stirring shots IMHO --LucaG15:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good, still nice and sharp and it allows one to get just a little 'closer' to the animals. Why not upload that one instead of this one? Regards, Ben Aveling22:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Normally I prefer not to share full res pictures because of the impossibility to license on Commons as for non commercial use. Actually for this old picture I could do it but I really don't see the benefit for the project. --LucaG20:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
