Eastern Barred Bandicoot[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 9 Aug 2010 at 11:12:44 (UTC)

Original - Eastern Barred Bandicoot
Reason
The lighting is as good as you could expect for a wild nocturnal creature. Getting photos with multiple off camera flashes is reasonably challenging, taking maybe three separate attempts to get this photo. Wikimedia doesn't really have anything comparable else for Bandicoots, or to my knowledge, any pictures of this species at all. This is the species on which Crash Bandicoot is based (though I don't think it's presence in that article is important).

  • Support. Good one, nice clarity, nice lighting overall. So a bit shorter grass, a little less side-on may be nice, but given this is a wild animal from a vulnerable species, I'm happy enough with that. (BTW have fixed up your articles/FP cat links). --jjron (talk) 12:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as above. J Milburn (talk) 13:09, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support Would be full if we could see the little thing's snout, it's almost lost in the grass. I feel like I've seen this photo before somewhere... --I'ḏ♥One 00:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Impressive, although it's almost confusing to the viewer as it appears to be taken in normal daylight. Might be worth updating the caption to explain the lighting, although not so easy when the image is used in the taxobox. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • How about "taken at Night with off camera Flashes"?. I'd probably just put that on the image page if anything, rather than the article caption. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, that would be useful. You're right, it's probably TMI for the article caption, but fine for the image page. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:22, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
