•  Support per Cayambe. Is this a set? :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

• Not really a set. One image was taken much nearer than the other so I had to adjust size, align and crop before creating my first gif for FPC. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Indeed very cute ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 18:30, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment Very nice, but I don't think a 2-frame combo needs to be a GIF; it could work just fine as a set of two JPEGs. Also, note that Commons support for downsampled GIFs is poor; viewing at anything but 100%, I see lots of artifacts and patchy color. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:55, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry Charles, have gone back and forth on this but I just don't see the point of GIF here. All it does is makes the quality poorer by restricting the palette to 256 colours, plus if I wanted to use these photos to illustrate the squirrel I'd much prefer the flexibility of two separate JPEGs rather than a single moving image.

•  Oppose Same. Not seeing the point of a GIF here. - Benh (talk) 17:32, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Agree with Cmao20. —kallerna (talk) 16:20, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose also agree with cmao, but points for trying something unusual for FPC. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others, and the display is jerky on my screen, making this gif non-flowing. Interesting idea, though -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:52, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
