Info Female reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) at Mount Torkilstöten, in Ljungdalen, Berg Municipality, Jämtland County, Sweden. In summer, reindeer prefer to move upwards to higher altitudes to escape insects. Created, uploaded and nominated by Arild Vågen (talk) 20:36, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Support -- ArildV (talk) 20:36, 23 November 2012 (UTC)- Weak support A nice capture, but for me a bit low on "wow" factor. Michael Barera (talk) 21:18, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Oppose Awkward pose (urinating?); one leg is almost "missing". Composition would be better if rule of third is followed. JKadavoor Jee 04:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Rule of third is used (download the photo and see where you find the reindeer and the head).--ArildV (talk) 09:47, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes; but here the subject is going out of the frame. Coming into the frame is more preferred; sorry, I should be more specific in commenting (earlier). JKadavoor Jee 10:11, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, no. The reindeer is looking to the right, so it is better if there is more room on the right. Yann (talk) 08:18, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes; I noticed it. But all other body parts in left direction. Just turned to give an angry look (I think a big no as I usually get while peeping into the privacy of people on street) to the photographer for disturbing its daily routines.

- I dont think we should confuse animals and humans. Reindeer are vigilant (bear, wolverine, wolf and lynx occur in the area, and is the major threat to the reindeer). From a encyclopaedic point of view its very good to show both the body and head of the reindeer.--ArildV (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

- Info Different crop.--ArildV (talk) 15:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Better composition; but the falling droplets and the widespread back legs are still an issue for me. Do you have another photo after it is urinating? JKadavoor Jee 16:40, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose See above. Yann (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- No. The reindeer ran away. It is extremely difficult to get close to the reindeer, without frightening them. It was the best opportunity I got in five hours.--ArildV (talk) 15:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- I appreciate your efforts; but we've to ignore some photos due to the inferior body language of the subject that may happen to be captured by accident. JKadavoor Jee 16:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
- I just answered your question if there were other photos. What do you mean "we've to ignore"?--ArildV (talk) 16:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
