•  Info Spotted hyena in the warm evening light, Upper Lupande GMA, Zambia. Created by Tagooty - uploaded by Tagooty - nominated by Tagooty -- Tagooty (talk) 06:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Support The hyena is mostly regarded as ugly and cowardly, greedy and gluttonous, and potentially dangerous. The two existing FPs reinforce this perception. This image has the endearing appeal of a favourite pet dog. -- Tagooty (talk) 06:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I still think Charles' File:Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta).jpg is the best of the hyena FPs, but this one is also deserving to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Question Can you widen the crop please? You've cut off some of the animal at the bottom. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment You're right. I didn't see that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:59, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Done @Charlesjsharp: Pl. see the new version. --Tagooty (talk) 08:32, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
• Thanks. I have voted for the other one. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Nice but tight crop at the bottom. I prefer this composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:46, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment I agree. Tagooty, would you be willing to offer that as an alternate? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:34, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Done I prefer the tighter crop to emphasise the hyena. However, I'm okay with the alternate also. --Tagooty (talk) 04:19, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
