  • Oppose, it is a good image... but I find the background somewhat distracting, the angle of the animal is not ideal, and I think the depth of field could be a little better on the shot. It's a great image though I just don't see any feature that pushes it to FP. gren グレン 03:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Gren. This shot is very repeatable at many wildlife parks here. In the wild you only ever really see them at night, commonly on the road eating something. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: It would be better if the caption and image description include where the photograph was taken. Without location details I think that people will wonder if it is a zoo animal or if it is a wild animal, and I think that a featured image should not have this sort of a doubt. I think the caption should be rewritten. Snowman (talk) 11:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: I agree that this one just isn't quite there. J Milburn (talk) 20:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
