[edit] Crab-eating Macaque in Lopburi, Thailand

The facial features of a crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in Lopburi, Thailand

The photograph is remarkable clear around the eyes, is of high resolution, and illustrates the subject better than any photo I've seen of this particular species. It's sort of haunting... I'm half expecting someone to argue against inclusion because the tip of the left ear is out of the frame. Frankly, I don't think that's of much concern, as the focus and general representation is, first and foremost, on the face (especially the eyes). It is also the flagship photo for the subject's article. Thoughts?

• It is a nice picture. But a bit unsharp. Perhaps that could be fixed by downsampling? --Cynops3 (talk) 14:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
  • You may prefer this edit. Best I could do without downsampling. Samsara (talk • contribs) 03:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Alternatively, I found that downsampling to 1500 width cures the worst of the motion blur. Samsara (talk • contribs) 03:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks! I love the eyes, but I can see people griping about the left ear and the furs not being 100% sharp—I don't feel like dealing with that. I'd vote for it, but I don't think I'll nominate it. If someone else does, go for it!-DMCer™ 18:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
