Oppose Elephants are so easy to photograph (and many FPs); the composition needs to be more interesting with the animal being on a road. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)- Support Sharp, good composition. Yann (talk) 11:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Per Yann. ★ 15:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Charles, I miss the extraordinary part of this image (lighting, detail, activity,...). I don't think either that the human-made road helps here. Poco a poco (talk) 17:10, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I understand that it must be a great experience to see a wild elephant this close, but there is nothing of that little extra in the composition, light or the things that would make this stand out. And the road doesn't help here. --Cart (talk) 20:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the reviews. The dynamic posture and the detailed texture of the skin catching my attention. I agree that the lighting and the road are not ideal. --Tagooty (talk) 16:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
