Comment Technically excellent... but he seems covered in dew. For identification, something without the water droplets will likely be more useful. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:21, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support – agree with Chris' ID concern, but the resolution, wow, and top+side view make this a pass for me. Bammesk (talk) 03:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support — But that it is covered in dew should be mentioned in both the image description and the captions at the wikipedia article. — UnpetitproleX (talk) 12:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not enough EV. There are better encyclopaedic images without dew. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
