•  Comment I miss a permission... Did Nedi Limani agree to a publication? --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 16:34, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Sorry Mdupont, but the lighting is not good and the framing seems a bit random to me. Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:39, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info Nedi Limani made this photo on contract for Kosovo Guide, which publishs all data under creative commons. Also Bresta is the owner of the rights. Contract work. -- Mdupont (talk) 16:52, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info Framing is not random, it is the side of a mountain, that is why it looks funny, very steep. --- Mdupont (talk) 16:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info This was taken at 2476 meters on the mountains --- Mdupont (talk) 16:51, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

* Oppose poor lightning, hard chromatic aberrations, also blurry parts --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 17:40, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

• lightning looks good now. I'm not sure if the quality is good enough... I think twice!  Neutral --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 13:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose Perhaps the thing that makes me not consider this image as FP is the fact that the main subjects (the dogs), are very underexposed. For example, you have almost no texture on their faces, which are almost completely under shadow. This is due to the fact that the lighting is very harsh on them (as Carschten and Alvesgaspar already pointed out). --Murdockcrc (talk) 18:58, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info see here File:Murgjo_Sharr_Mountain_Dog_Nedi_LimaniBrighttest.jpg with gimp I have brighten up the dogs faces, you can see that the details are there in the pic. I just did a quick test on the lowres pic. I dont think all is lost, we could brighten up the dark sections, or someone who knows what they are doing could fix this. At least the data is there and the details were captured . --- Mdupont (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info I've put e retouched version up. The original one was raw. --Bresta (talk) 11:30, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Definitely an improvement. Sure, the image still has it flaws but in my opinion they are all expected.--Snaevar (talk) 13:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Bad IQ. Otherwise this dog is from Serbian/Macedonian mountains. Its not Ilyirian, its Šarplaninac (derivated from Šar mountains). --Mile (talk) 15:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Info yes, the term Ilyirian Sheep Dog is the term the locals use. The photo was taken in Kosovo, which declared independance from Serbia in 2008 and which is still an ongoing conflict. We have been working with locals to submit the best photo of kosovo for wikipedia and this is one of the better ones. We are also working on improving the wikipedia. There are at least 3-4 alternative names and spellings for everything there. I dont use Šarplaninac much cause I cannot type it easily on this keyboard and remember the name. Sharri Sheepdogs is another easier name to remember. But are using the serbian names on the english wikipedia because they have been standardized on that. Qeni Sharrit is the albanian name for this type of dog. If you want to see some of the other pictures from the contest check out Category:BestPictureOfKosovoForWikipediaContest maybe you can help tag, categorize, name and use these pictures, or help nominate some. Thanks, Mike. Mdupont (talk) 17:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose I kind of like it, but it's dark, there's visible chromatic aberration and the tilt is disturbing. --IdLoveOne (talk) 16:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per IdLoveOne and Alvesgaspar --Miguel Bugallo 00:39, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Support-- Its a really great picture, and it is indeed an Illyrian Shephard, that lives in the Sharri Mountains in Kosovo, have seen lots of these dogs on hiking trips. HeroidShehu 20:31, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

•  Support-- Its a really great picture, and it is indeed an Illyrian Shephard, that lives in the Sharri Mountains in Kosovo, have seen lots of these dogs on hiking trips, you can see these kinds of dog along with people in Stables, they are very calm dogs if you are with their owner else if you are a stranger they get pretty mad...

  • Per talk page consensus. Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Perhaps if this were shot with the dogs closer to the left side of the frame. The current framing takes away the "wow" factor. Sorry. LeavXC (talk) 08:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose --Martin Kozák (talk) 16:03, 24 December 2010 (UTC) – Bad composition and bad lens (details drawing) quality.
•  Oppose Overall confusing composition. Especially, the pose of the dogs seem random and point-and-shoot like. Other elements in the composition such as the row of sheep in the background, and the strong slope are good and interesting. --Slaunger (talk) 23:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
