Bengal Tiger

Original - The tiger (Panthera tigris) is a mammal of the Felidae family, the largest of four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 feet) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts.

Reason: clear well focused and it meets the FPC criteria and should be featured.

Oppose. Unsharp, low resolution (and only depicts part of the animal). Pstuart84 Talk 18:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral- An excellent image, but the whole animal should appear, not just the upper torso. ~Meldshal42_{Hit me}^{What I've Done} 19:29, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support-Excellent image showing facial details in closeup. Look at the clarity around eyes and mustaches. Good lighting and no special effects. --gppande «talk» 08:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Pstuart84. Mfield (talk) 15:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose regretfully. I don't know what it is about this image, it's not out of focus, but it's not quite in focus either. Wish is was, 'cause it's a great pose. Clegs (talk) 17:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose, regretfully. Good lighting, good pose, and I have gotten over my distaste for head-only animal portraits. But the focus isn't quite up to the standards of other FP animal portraits: , , , for example.
Oppose The image is a bit thin, and after seeing this in comparison, I'm afraid I can't support. Spencer^T♦^C 22:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It meets the requirements, but the resolution is STILL an issue. I would love to see this at higher resolution. Crassic! (talk) 22:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
