•  Comment I cannot make up my mind what to vote on this image. On the positive side I really like how the colors of the animal blends quite perfect with its sorroundings. I also think the timing is good. The pose of the animal is suboptimal though and the focus on the deer is a little soft, and it does not have a high wow factor as compared to, e.g., File:Oryx gazella - Etosha 2014.jpg. But then again a deer which blends well into its surroundings will naturally be a bit "anonymous". --Slaunger (talk) 20:45, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment The intention here was to show it in its natural state as it is, therefore no processing done as well -- Dey.sandip (talk) 14:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment It appears there is a stick coming out if its ear and it has a leaf earring. Saffron Blaze (talk) 20:56, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment Leaf earring :-) It's not possible to control these situations when you do not have much control over your shooting position, the branch you mentioned here is part of the background. Since, the animal was intended to be shown in its natural state, the photograph has been presented as it is -- Dey.sandip (talk) 14:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose Head is blur. Ditto Saffron. --Graphium 03:35, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment The animal was not absolutely static, as it was moving its head. Some of the things that you can do while shooting a static subject can not be done while you photograph an animal. Therefore, in my humble opinion, you should review the photograph keeping in mind the context and shooting conditions a bit. -- Dey.sandip (talk) 14:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Then standard of the photo is not good enough for FP. --Graphium 16:59, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Support i like the animal position, wow for me -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:41 25 May 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment It seems like, people don't have much interest in this, for whatever reasons. Probably, should withdraw then -- Dey.sandip (talk) 06:58, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

• Yes, the lack of interest is usually a symptom that reviewers do not find a candidate very eye-catching. For me the photo seems much more suited for COM:VI. --Slaunger (talk) 20:07, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
• Please don't cry: try to nominate a work of art and you will discover what "solitude" means...;)--Jebulon (talk) 19:17, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
• People like Yathin sk recently created a high standard in FP mammals gallery as Slaunger mentioned above. But we need a variety of subjects and from all parts of the world. So pictures like this is also welcome even though not fall under FP/QI. So keep contributing. (The quality issues are more of the limitations of the equipment you are using.)
