•  Support - This photo looks great at full-page size and it's a very nice portrait of the ibex in its natural environment and a very satisfying composition, so I'm willing to tolerate the unsharp areas in this macro photo. I also appreciate that the photographer explained what the bluish bokeh background is - the ice field of the glacier. At least in English. If someone wants to volunteer to translate that into German and/or Ukrainian (or any other language), that would be great. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose due to lighting - the majority of the subject is in shadow. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:04, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - When the subject is the only thing that's really in shadow, can't that itself be a kind of emphasis? I think that actually helps the subject stand out, in this case. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:16, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
