Reason
I'm new to this, so please excuse me if I'm doing this wrong. I think this is a good image of the animal, in what seems to be close to a natural setting, and (maybe?) of high enough quality for consideration here. John Carter 21:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose Unfortunately there is some jpg compression. Also, the pose isn't great (not especially captivating) and the tail is cut off. A perfectly usable image, but not FP quality. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 21:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • support edit 2 is the best close up pose in commons of this fox species, and for that reason alone is worthy of FPC Bleh999 01:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support the edit; I like it. Why not crop a few slivers off the right side, though? -- Phoenix2 (holla) 16:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Nice pictures, both of them --Mbz1 18:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
  • Oppose either: Big vertical shadow stroke is distracting in edit. Original colors are washed. Circeus 19:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Both are very good pictures, I almost support the first one over the second. --St.daniel Talk 21:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - He looks like he just woke up at noon in a zoo. --TotoBaggins 23:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Look at the caption ;-) Circeus 03:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Why all the supports? Poor composition, unimpressive lighting, compression artifacts (which the sharpening in the edit has served only to exaggerate) and a generally dull and lifeless photo. Of a cutesy fox. mikaultalk 15:46, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose – Washed colours, fur still blurry when fully zoomed. Vertical shadow a distraction. Centyreplycontribs – 20:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
