•  Comment Thanks for adding location information. Now, please work on categories. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:49, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Thanks for adding the categories. Charles has some good points in his critiques of the photograph (without considering the practice of feeding monkeys; the other stuff), so I'm doubtful about supporting the photo for FP, in the end. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:48, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose I have never been convinced that humans feeding animals like this is a sound conservation practice, especially for a vulnerable species. It happens all over India with various macaque and langur species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Question But how that is effecting the quality of picture Charlesjsharp ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mydreamsparrow (talk • contribs) 03:42, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

• Sorry, I should have specified that it is the composition, the behaviour and the technical quality that I oppose. Feeding wild animals is often against the law. This animal has been fed for some time, judging by the full cheek pouches. I prefer wildlife images to show natural rather than man-made settings. The cut-off green plant is distracting. The lighting is sub-optimal and could you have chosen a better day for these easy-to-take animals? - that would have given you higher shutter speed, lower ISO and higher F number. The eyes are in focus, but little else. The settings chosen have resulted in softness and lack of definition. Some of the banana is blown. The sky background is not ideal, a darker background can often be better. There is a strange imbalance between the trees on the right and left. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:51, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose Nice composition but, without prejudice to the ethical question, I agree with some of Charles' points about technical flaws. Cmao20 (talk) 08:12, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose per Cmao. Daniel Case (talk) 06:02, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
