  • Comment: Nice and sharp, but I'm a little iffy about the brightness. The light comes across as unnecessarily harsh. Perhaps a separate file with slightly cooler lighting? Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:13, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Surely featurable EV would include being able to see the blue tongue? --99of9 (talk) 12:15, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree it would definitely be better with the tongue. I thought I'd go ahead with the nom and see what others thought about the other good qualities of this photo perhaps overcoming that limitation. Pinetalk
  • Oppose. Lacks the edge, and the lack of blue tongue is a shame. A decent and useful picture, but not really FP material, sorry. J Milburn (talk) 23:16, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
