Oppose Had this been a nature shot, I would have voted for it in a heartbeat. As it is, it's a shot of a captive whale taken in a park. As such, I shan't.--Peulle (talk) 17:06, 1 August 2018 (UTC)- Support --Σπάρτακος (talk) 17:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support - IMO, it's good enough to support even though it's of a captive animal, and therefore, not as difficult to take as a photo shot in the wild. That's irrespective of my opinion that whales should not be held captive. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support I have some difficulty understanding all this fuss about animal photos having to be in the wild to get credit, especially when it is a more or less close-up of the animal. A good photo is a good photo. Sure, in the wild you have to find and stalk your subject so more effort is needed, but in my experience it can be hard to get a good compo in a zoo too. There are always fences, artificial things, people, shadows from structures etc. in the way. Most of the time the animals are asleep, eating or looking bored and it's hard to get an angle other than top down. To me it's a bit like saying that you have to photograph a flower or plant in its natural habitat and never in a garden or hothouse. I too have mixed feelings about keeping animals in captivity, but we need good photos of everything so I see no reason not to support it. This could very well be an illustration for an article about the downside of keeping wales in captivity, a good photo might make people read it. --Cart (talk) 18:05, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

- Oppose The crop at the top is too tight. One does suspect that something should not be in the picture. The moving water is professionally reworked but looks very artificial.--Ermell (talk) 07:49, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Info No need to suspect: I cropped only more water --Llez (talk) 13:36, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Quite agree with Ermell. And then a larger crop may improve here -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support --Photographer 22:11, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Neutral for now. A less tight crop at the top could convince me. --MB-one (talk) 11:47, 5 August 2018 (UTC)- Support -- George Chernilevsky talk 19:42, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
