Very Strong Oppose; ludicrously poor focus at the nose. I don't even see the entire hippo. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 09:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A tad on the harsh side, no? Also, oppose per Fir. --Mad Tinman _T _C 18:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Caption may not be acceptable - the image has focus issues, and needs more clarity. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
