Aquila heliaca vs. Eudorcas thomsonii.JPG

**promoted**
Image
Nominated by	Amakuha (talk) on 2020-12-01 22:28 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Eudorcas thomsonii (Thomson's gazelle) chasing Aquila heliaca (eastern imperial eagle)
Used in	Global usage English Wikipedia (Eastern imperial eagle, Thomson's gazelle); featured image in Serbian Wikipedia
Reason	Definitely one of the most impressive and dramatic photos I've ever seen on Commons: an eagle facing off with a gazelle mother over its dead calf. The photo is a valued illustration of imperial eagles' predation. This behaviour seems to be common among this species of eagles, as there is a popular video on YouTube of a similar encounter. Nevertheless, making such a photo is not an easy feat, and the dynamics in this particular image is incredibly artistic, as if it's a scene from some 19th century painting. -- Amakuha (talk)
Review (criteria)	Comment You need to link your scope to the relevant Commons category, not a Wikipedia article, because we have to judge it against all other photos of this type of eagle. Did you do that? I would have expected this photo to be nominated in a much narrower scope of the gazelle in the process of charging the eagle. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:03, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] @Ikan Kekek: Thanks. Changed the scope from "Aquila heliaca" to "Eudorcas thomsonii chasing Aquila heliaca". --Amakuha (talk) 20:11, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] Best in Scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] ~~Oppose~~ Good but : A single category linked to the scope, the names in italics with, in parentheses, the vernacular names in English. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:28, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] Comment Yeah, that's right. I'd suggest linking it to the category for the eagle, because all the images in scope are there and there are fewer images there. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] @Archaeodontosaurus: changed. --Amakuha (talk) 14:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] Support It is one of the most beautiful and interesting images I have seen in several years. It is a pride for VI to be able to label it. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
