A Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis), courtesy of PDphoto.org. I love the expression on the sheep's face. Neutralitytalk 04:07, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

  • Support. Great use of the blurring of the background to focus on the subject. Enochlau 10:31, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, although it could use some contrasting to make the sheep stand out more. -- BRIAN0918  18:40, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose Sorry to spoil the party but, although it's a very good pic, I would want the animals body to be in focus for a Featured Pic - Adrian Pingstone 22:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Jpeg artifacts (particularly along the horns), without even having the benefit of a jpeg's smaller size. —Korath (Talk) 23:11, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. I think its a good photo. Even if the goat's coat is patchy. --Fir0002 10:03, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose agree with Korath about jpeg artifacts, uninteresting crop --jacobolus (t) 23:29, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Busy background makes it harder to see detail on face and horns. Jonathunder 19:12, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
  • Neutral. It's undeniably a portrait of the animal as opposed to a non-creative illustration, which is cool, but it's not got a lot of personality. I'd like to see a crop showing the full length of the animal, though that might put the focal area uncomfortably far from the center. Matthewcieplak 05:17, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • How is a neutral vote included in the final count? If it's ignored, wouldn't it be better, Matthew, to decide one way or the other? Just a thought - Adrian Pingstone 13:35, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Just a bit dull. Mark1 04:06, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
