•  Oppose Unfortunate lighting, unlit side of the subject is shown. Also rather unsharp, given that the subject is pretty small. --Dschwen (talk) 15:31, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment I uploaded another shot of the ripped pig (no Great Spotted Woodpecker). —kallerna™ 18:40, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Delicious + per above   • Richard • [®] • 17:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose have to agree. Could it be a VI? --AngMoKio (talk) 17:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Love the gore, but.... wrong direction of light, smallish image (a Canon 5D produces a larger image), and the bear feast would have been great. You had the before and after shot... and the middle? --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment I satt 15 hours and slept 15 minutes - when the bear ate it's meal. I have photos of bears at about 01.00 when was pitch black... But the photos of wolverine are decent. EDIT: But yes, I saw the bear when there were light - unfortunately exposure time on my camera was 5 sec - and the bear run away when I woke my friend up... I'll go back there sometime.. EDIT 2: smallish image because of distance (Lens focal length = 400 mm), so I had to crop it. —kallerna™ 18:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
    •  Comment LOL... well, that is the photo challenge... the magic moment... this is where you either get the shot or not... and where fast lenses and high ISO come in handy. When I shoot under those conditions, I am continually adjusting aperture/iso so I only have to worry about focusing, composing and clicking.... and wait for the normal complaints about noise, CA and all irrelevant data that has nothing to do with the image itself... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
      • Check these photos out: eating bear 1 & 2. I had quite good equipment and used extreme settings (exposure time: 20 sec, ISO 1600, f/5) - and the result is just really poor. —kallerna™ 16:39, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

• since you're camping out, see if it's possible to find a position facing north for better lighting. --ianaré (talk) 05:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

• Like this? —kallerna™ 09:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
