  •  Comment We already have Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Leopardo (Panthera pardus) devorando un antílope, parque nacional Kruger, Sudáfrica, 2018-07-26, DD 07.jpg taken four minutes later. -- Colin (talk) 09:58, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, Colin, for pointing that out. It was my mistake not to mention that myself. Still, I wonder whether the fact that between both images where taken 4 minutes after each other is a reason not to consider it a valid nom. The motif is of course the same, but I was there over one hour and this nom reflects the special moment when the leopard with bloody snout was looking towards me. Also the crop is much tigther and the position of the kill is pretty different. In fact, I like this image much more than the other one. --Poco2 21:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Poco, almost all us reviewers are also photographers. We know that on a shoot we take lots of photos. And some have this special quality and some have that special quality and it can sometimes be hard to guess which one is the best. But this isn't QI and finest is finest. Many reviewers and nominators do actually take the time to look at the FP category, the image categories, and compare with other images already uploaded and already awarded. As we've discussed before, you require more review comments to achieve a gold star than any other photographer here, by some distance. Simply because you expect us to filter out the "meh" and "done already". Multiple times you have nominated photos from the same shoot without mention or apparent embarassment. We could spend all day trying to work out if one image's qualities (looking towards you, but clearly disturbed by the photographer) are better than another image's qualities (eating the kill, apparently undisturbed). The point of "finest" is to pick one. And, with the images from a shoot, that's your job as nominator.
    This year you have nominated 13 images, only 6 pass, 5 withdrawn, and received over 120 review comments and votes by other people. But in turn, you have reviewed only 6 images for other people, in one 15 minute interval. You are expecting us all to take greater care to review your photos than you spend yourself on your own photos, never mind the miniscule effort you spend on others' photos. Most other Commons-experienced photographers here have very high pass rates, some are 100%. If you aren't willing to help select "the finest on Commons" by revewing your own photos better, and doing your share to review others' photos, then why should we waste our time with your careless nominations. -- Colin (talk) 08:17, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose There may be differences but I like the other one better.--Peulle (talk) 23:07, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Too similar for existing FP. Procedural oppose --A.Savin 11:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per others. The other one had the body dangling down, which was more dramatic. Daniel Case (talk) 15:51, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural  Oppose because it is too similar to the other one. I might consider supporting a delist-and-replace, though. --El Grafo (talk) 14:31, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Ok, taking it back. Thanks for the novel, Colin, but definitely no the right place for you blog posts --Poco2 21:52, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
