- Info all by me Jakubhal -- Jakubhal 17:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support -- Jakubhal 17:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose If you have to feed the squirrel to get a photo, should be easy to get a better PoV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- I did not feed it to get this photo, if it matters. -- Jakubhal 05:05, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Weak oppose It's very cute and it definitely deserves to be QI. But the background and point of view are a bit so-so as Charles says. It's nice and sharp, but 4.3mpx resolution is not high for an FP these days. Overall if it were twice this resolution I think I'd support, but as it is the image's good points are not quite enough to make it one of the best on Commons to me.

- Support I just looked through all the squirrel and chipmunk FPs. A lot of them date from the time before 2 MP was the required minimum and some of them should probably be delisted, but I think this stands up well compared to even some relatively recent FPs. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Comment Is this downsized Jakubhal? Don't imagine it is croppedIkan Kekek.Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)- Charlesjsharp the picture was taken from the distance about two meters (if I remember it right) and is cropped. Please do no assume anything, like "feeding from hand". I could probably do it and get closer, but when I met this critter it was eating what he found or got earlier and fled when I came closer -- Jakubhal 11:17, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- This is original RAW downsized for comparision. -- Jakubhal 11:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. I hadn't noticed the lens you used. I understand now that someone else had just fed it. Feeding these squirrels is ubiquitous in Agra and nearby sights. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- From a biased perspective, I think this image is a better FP candidate. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:01, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

- Support per Ikan. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 14:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Cmao20 Poco a poco (talk) 18:44, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with Cmao20. These top-down photos of animals are usually not a good idea unless the shadow or something can provide something extra. --Cart (talk) 20:57, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cmao and Cart. Daniel Case (talk) 03:12, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
