Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Image:Ibexes.jpg

This image takes a couple seconds to appreciate, but it really jumped out at me when I saw it on Camouflage. Make sure you look at the full-size image too — how many Ibexes can you see? Image taken by Sputnikcccp and released under the GFDL. -Lommer | ^talk 23:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Nominate and support. -Lommer | ^talk 23:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• What hi-res version? Oppose. ed g2s • talk 23:48, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, by hi-res version I mean the full-size image, I'll change the nomination speach. -Lommer | ^talk 04:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • It's far too small, grainy and out of focus. ed g2s • talk 08:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support. Impressive. — Trilobite (Talk) 20:52, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support. I know it's a picture I took, so I don't know if this nomination counts, but I have to say it is a very good picture. It illustrates Ibexes and Camouflage well. — Sputnik (Talk) 21:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Neutral. Is there any chance of a higher res pic? --Silversmith Hewwo 08:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support, though could used higher res. Circeus 10:52, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't know if the picture can be altered to create a higher res image. If someone with more photo-altering knowledge would like to try, go right ahead. And in my defence, Ed g2s, yes, it's slightly grainy and out of focus, but I think that adds to the effect of camouflage. Sputnik
    • Generally speaking increasing the size will not create a better image, and as it stands the image is far too small for FP. ed g2s • talk 19:57, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. The colour is horrible - you can hardly see the features of the ibexes, which look rather like the rocks. Enochlau 08:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • That's the point of the picture! The ibexes blend in, they look like the rocks. If you can't find them, neither could a predator. That's what camouflage is for! Sputnik
    • oh gosh I'm so stupid... in any case, still an oppose because the image quality is not too good - compare it with the clarity of the second picture on the camouflage page. Enochlau 13:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Small and out of focus. --Bernard Helmstetter 20:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Though I like hunting for ibexes, the resolution is prohibitive.Deltabeignet 21:57, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose, suffers from compression/lack of clarity. --Fir0002 04:56, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose, Bad compositon, color and overall lacking in sharpness. Alight 20:14, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Although it illustrates the article well, it's not particularly aesthetically pleasing. Dzof 11:03, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
