  • Keep in fighting the good fight against unreasonable retroactive application of size guidelines to old images per my previous arguments on the subject, and because there is no evidence that this still isn't the best that WP has to offer which is the main point not it's size, so me a better shot and I'll change my vote.

The errors caused by compression was another listed reason if you look above, particularly in the bottom right corner, easily visible at 100%, not what you would expect as the best wikipedia has to offer. Thisglad (talk) 09:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, I still think it's some of the best WP has to offer. Minor compression artifacts don't change that and while bigger would be better... the size is quite reasonable for the subject. gren グレン 10:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep until replacement found I really don't think that this should be taken down without a suitable replacement. --Sharkface217 03:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a unique image, can't find this easily. You try pointing a camera in a kangaroo's pouch and see what she says. Samsara noadmin (talk) 13:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
