•  Info Panning shot of 2 reindeer running in the in the mountains in Ljungdalen, Sweden. The image is cropped (but no downsampling), reindeer are very vigilant (bear, wolf, wolverine and lynx are constant threats to the reindeer in the wild) and and difficult to get close to by foot.

 Comment As impressive as those reindeer look, see my !vote below for my explanation of why this is better. Daniel Case (talk) 17:23, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

•  Enthusiastic support As noted this sort of picture is difficult to get, so kudos to you, Arild. I don't usually go for animal pictures, even well-done ones, because it's so easy for a skilled enough photographer to get a very good one that we rarely see great ones. And this is great because of the high EV—we are not only seeing wild reindeer, scruffy, dumpy and not idealized Christmas creations; we are seeing them in their natural habitat, their motion telling us that they cannot take it easy here, and the light and the background explaining their coloration to us far better than any words in any language ever could.

• Weak  Support. I think think the image is a little too bright (especially the fur), but a shot like this is definitely not easy to get. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:20, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
