Other than the graininess and the hooves being hidden, I think this is an excellent picture of an American bison, showing both a frontal view of the head and a side view of the body; appears in Bison, American Bison, and Bovid (all about the same thing), and the USDA created the image, with an upload by QuartierLatin1968/QuartierLatin1968.

  • Please note. This is not the only version. There is also an exact copy located here. The alternate version is located in several different articles in different langauges, so a speedy delete would be difficult at this time (it would need to be replaced in each article). I chose to nominate the version that was already a FP in Wikimedia Commons.
  • Nominate and support original. The edit is oversaturated. - Tewy 02:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Good colors, nice composition. -Ravedave 04:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Support edit 1. The color is *much* better. A nice job as usual Fir. -Ravedave 01:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support despite the fact that the grass makes it somewhat busy I like the composition and I like the shot layout, it is definitely a well done photo and has the wow factor, it also shows the bison well. JtkieferT | C | @ ---- 10:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Edit 1 I like it, and it is mostly in focus from front to back. I like the new edit, nothing seems overexposed that was not before. HighInBC 15:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Nice shot, looks well-enoughed focused for me. InvictaHOG 17:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support - bizzarrely, I was looking at bison like 3 days and thinking it was a pity there wasn't a decent image there. Either I missed this, or it's been added since. Stevage 22:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original, oppose edit. Sorry but like the waterfall this edit is over the top again. Way oversaturated. --Dschwen 00:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support good detail and color. Better than the two I just uploaded to the American Bison article IMHO.--MONGO 08:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. - Mailer Diablo 18:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support - per above. --GoOdCoNtEnT 18:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1. Per Jtkiefer. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 18:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original, oppose edit. Fir's Everyone's colorspace must be way different from mine, because I just see artificial saturation. Outriggr 21:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support - Darwinek 23:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Edit 1 - good picture, meets all criteria. --GoOdCoNtEnT 02:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original. Maybe slightly lacking contrast, but not disturbingly. Oppose edit, too saturated.--JyriL talk 15:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support original. -- Looks fine on my monitor; Fir's looks a bit oversaturated. -- Moondigger 23:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support either. howcheng {chat} 20:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 2 fine image--Vircabutar 01:00, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support edit 1 good image--Neo139 15:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Promoted Image:American bison k5680-1.jpg It appears there's more support for/less opposition to the original. -- Moondigger 01:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
