Nominate and support. Arad 03:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I nominated this for FP on the Wikimedia Commons yesterday, and I was going to nominate it for FPC here, but Arad beat me to it (oh well). High resolution, good colours, nice composition, very clear for something that appears to be taken with a telephoto. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, looks like you have to be faster next time. Good luck. ;-) Arad 21:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good photo per Pharaoh Hound. HighInBC 13:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support fine picture, natural environment --Luc Viatour 14:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - a great picture technically and artistically. --Lewk_of_S e rthic _contrib ^talk 15:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Although I agree with everyting above I feel that the composition is too tight. You don't get an impression of what a sleek animal the Cheetah is from this image - It is not an adequate representation of the whole. Witt y lama 02:16, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Witty lama, since it cuts off the body doesn't really show much about the species.--Peta 04:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Agree with above. It's a nice enough photo, but for some reason it lacks something, there's just no life to the animal. --jjron 11:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. We're seeing just half a cheetah. It is the athletic shape of the cheetah's body that is making it a special animal. A running cheetah would be even better. Unfortunately, this one shows neither of these. Mikeo 20:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this picture is not meant to show the body of the cheetah, instead focusing on the head details? Maybe a running cheetah wouldn't be in such a perfect position. Arad 20:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it were focusing on the head details, just show the head, not half the body. This one is not good for any purpose, the way it is. Mikeo 08:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Wonderful picture, but I'd still like to see either more of the face or more of the whole body. --Tewy 00:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - yes, a full image would be better, but it is a still a great picture none the less --ZeWrestler ^Talk 16:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Its a great headshot. it doesnt illustrate the whole animal, but then again it doesn't have to.Nnfolz 18:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Is it me, or is that cheetah pink-ish? Nauticashades 19:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pink-ish? maybe your watching pink panther. Arad 21:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Tewy. Perhaps cropping the lower 1/3 helps? AndonicO 18:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cropping 1/3 of this wonderful image kills it for me. I rather keep it this way. 66.36.144.252 23:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
