•  Neutral bambi! ;), nice picture, but composition could be improved (it's centered right now, maybe the left and lower side should be cropped a bit) -- Gorgo 18:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose composition, angle norro 19:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose I have the impression that this picture was taken really close to the animal. This, plus the fact that it looks directly towards the camera gives me a bad feeling: isn't it supposed to be a wild animal? I'm not sure this is a reason to oppose a picture, but that is the reason why I don't really like it CyrilB 21:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Quote from the "Sika Deer" article on the English Wikipedia: "Dybowski's sika deer (Cervus nippon dybowskii) and Formosan sika deer (Cervus nippon taioanus) are highly endangered and possibly already extinct in the wild." well, I really would prefer to take this shot in the wild... Robek
    • Well... you got that point! I still maintain my vote, for the centered composition and the fact that the animal is looking directly towards the camera, but I understand now the conditions of the shoot. CyrilB 20:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

•  Oppose - zoo pic - MPF 00:47, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
•  Support - sharp, acceptable resolution (deliberately cropped to match, I guess), with an interesting subject. A shame that a picture in the wild is impossible nowadays. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 14:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC) 14:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
•  Oppose Tbc 18:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC) agree with MPF

•  Support I like the look and the square crop, maybe it could work as a CD cover ;-) --che 23:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
