Reason
Very good quality picture, highly encyclopedic, doesn't show a trace of the fact it was taken in the zoo.

  • Comment Maybe this would be better used in camouflage? Noclip 15:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — Very enc for camouflage, and a nice shot. Too bad about the foreground plants, but still OK. TotoBaggins 16:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. About as enc as it gets but the back left paw is completely out of focus --frothT 18:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The right half of the animal—specially the legs—are in motion.--enano (Talk) 18:55, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose All the plants are really quite distracting. The back half of the tiger are blurry. For a picture of a magnificent subject like a tiger, this is very dissappointing and there have to be better pictures. -Midnight Rider 02:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose as much as I love pictures of tigers, the plants and the foliage camoflauge with the tiger, making it hard to see. Sorry, but oppose. Tohru Honda13 04:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
