•  Comment I just wanted to examine the picture, as I like it in preview. But I wondered why it had no categories at all. After I learned that the photographer himself deliberately removed the categories for unknown reasons, I'm not anymore willing to review this or any other picture by this "author"... --A.Savin 12:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC) Sorry, this I didn't know. Why was there no info on Commons talk:Deceased contributors? --A.Savin 13:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I did not noticed he removed the categories since I had put the image in my favorites, and I'm sorry too to learn the sad news Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 16:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

• I just happened to stumble on this info on User:Rftblr's page. User:Uoaei1 seems to know more. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - Very strange. Anyway, I'll say that I like the bear but don't like the bokeh, so I probably wouldn't be a "Support" vote, but I'd like for Rftblr to explain why he removed the categories. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:04, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • well, sadly User:Rftblr deceased in April 2016. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:31, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
• Oh my God, I'm so sorry! Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:10, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • We could remove the image description page template "Please do not upload an updated image here without consultation with the author" ??. Anyway he will be inmortal with his photographs here --The Photographer (talk) 14:00, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
•  Support the bokeh could be better but the main subject is featureable imo --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 13:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose While it’s technically good and certainly QI, I don’t see anything really special in this. The busy bokeh doesn’t help. --Kreuzschnabel 21:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Support - knowing from personal experiences how difficult it is to get close enough to capture this species in the wild, the photograph certainly meets FP criteria. I am truly saddened to learn of the photographer's unexpected demise. Atsme 📞 22:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
