[edit] Jack Russell Terrier
JRTs are feisty little creatures, always on the move and difficult to photograph. It is unusual to be able to catch them with pricked ears like this. Self nomination by Moriori 20:02, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
- Support, if as nom I am permitted to. Moriori
- Oppose: Not a particularly interesting composition, and red-eye. Pdefer 21:52, 2004 Oct 26 (UTC)
- Oppose: The red-eye is what gets me; the composition is all right, methinks. ugen64 01:39, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)
- Oppose: It appears to be a picture of someone's dog. How is this one of our finest pictures? Cavebear42 17:26, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Comment -- I have no idea if this picture is any good....perhaps the red eye disqualifies it. But I want to note (if no one else yet has) that we all seemed pretty biased around here. Photos of amazing landscapes, architecture, astronomical objects, etc., seem to have an easier time here. But no matter how we shoot a dog's picture, everyone either thinks it's "posed" or "too cute" or "just someone's pet" or "not notable". Now, we may have excellent reasons for rejecting each one of these pictures on its individual merits, but I'm starting to suspect that what at least a few of us are saying is "I don't think a picture of someone's dog is featurable". And I don't like that much. I'm not a big dog fan, personally, and I know they're not as fascinating to most people who edit here as the Eagle Nebula, but I think we should probably figure out soon what we can reasonably expect from a featured picture of an everyday thing (like a dog or a screwdriver). I know, we'd rather have amazing photos, and maybe we should restrict photos of the day to the incredibly cool and unusual. But I think there is room on Wikipedia:Featured pictures for some good photos of ordinary, everyday life. I didn't know where else to say this, so pardon me for intruding on this vote. But I think it needs to be said. If this is better on the talk page, please move it there -- thanks. Jwrosenzweig 21:25, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Oppose. - The bar is pretty high for dog pictures, and this one doesn't quite get there. Jpo 16:23, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
