  • Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 08:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Another nice find. Only thing that bugs me is the Gemsbok on the right side is not in focus. It is slightly blurry. --BNK(talk) 14:34, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm not really convinced here. Of the 5 Gemsboks in the picture only one is shown particularly well, and it has a broken horn which I'm imagining reduces its EV. Cowtowner (talk) 18:36, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I'm convinced. I disagree about loss of EV. Gemsboks (all animals, in fact) aren't always perfect—life happens. I can also deduce from the other horns in the frame what the missing one should look like :) Very, very attractive image that reminds me a bit of the Burrowing owl image. My only qualm would be the slight darkness of the gemsboks. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 19:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support EV is good. Their faces (can you call them that?) are a tad too dark for my taste, I'd like more detail to be visible. --WingtipvorteX PTT 23:40, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
