•  Info Portrait of a Black-faced impala (Aepyceros melampus petersi) in Etosha, Namibia, created, uploaded and nominated by Lycaon (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Cute but looks like a zoo shot. Better use of DOF techniques would have separated the impala from the background. One of the principles of design in photography is to take advantage of the contour of the subjects. In this case it blends too much with background. A longer lens or a wider aperture would have taken care of this. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Support The DOF is sufficient for this picture. All other technical aspect are as well in order. The subject is remarkably sharp. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 18:42, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose quality is really good but the composition doesn't convince me. It is too straight forward for me. DOF is ok but I also think it good be a tad smaller. --AngMoKio (talk) 12:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Composition (background) is not good enough for FP. --Karelj (talk) 00:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
