•  Comment - Very cute and good quality, and I'm inclined to support, but I'd like to hear from Rhododendrites on why the photo is this small. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: It's small because as soon as I got closer, they ran off (I'm clumsier than they are in a rocky desert), and that's the longest focal length I had/have available to me (150mm, equivalent to 300mm full frame). — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment Yes, very small and the lighting not so good. A bit soft. 1/1600 sec/F5.6 not a good choice for a static scene. Charles (talk) 11:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

• If it were a situation when I could've used a tripod vs. freehandling at 150mm (equivalent to 300mm full frame) on rocky ground, I'd agree re: shutter. Perhaps I could've brought it down a little bit from 1/1600 and still be safe, but it was just shortly before I left the desert and the only time I saw kids together like this, nevermind close enough to photograph, so wanted to be safe because there was no shortage of light and they were just so cute :). Maybe a noob move, meh. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not all all 'Noob'. But only a few images aspire to FP! Charles (talk) 16:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose For me there's no to ways about it; it's not an FP for the reasons stated above.--Peulle (talk) 14:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
•  Support overall I was happy with the result of this one, though I understand why some would oppose given the size of it. I do wish I could've gotten closer without scaring them or for different conditions. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - Maybe I'm too much of a softy, but although this photo is small, it's well composed and I find it touching. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:14, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
•  Weak support, lighting isn't all that special and a little bokeh would be good, but I guess under the circumstances presented above this was the best shot possible. Good composition as well. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 23:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
•  Moderate support It's not the greatest it could be. But it doesn't have too many too obvious shortcomings for a picture by someone who doesn't usually take wildlife photos and just tried to make the best of a shot that presented itself and was unlikely to last.
