•  Question Can you please add a location info to the image description, where you took the picture .. e.g. zoo, sanctuary --Richard Bartz (talk) 21:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

This picture was taken in the forest, I added geolocation tag (very approximate though, because I really don't know on which exact place I encountered this deer) --Spock lone wolf (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Was it really not taken in a sanctuary ? I ask because this picture was taken at 17:38, 30. Aug. 2007, 12 minutes later you took a picture of a mouflon File:Mouflon.jpg .. it happens very rarely that one is surrounded by so many wildlife in a forrest. A very short time with such a close distance. I'am a bit sceptical ;-) --Richard Bartz (talk) 00:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, I never found it that bad, but it's true that it's a whole fallen tree. I had no chance to get above it this time while crawling towards the deer, the photo is taken half second after it saw me and half second before it ran off. Maybe some other time it'll be better :) --Spock lone wolf (talk) 10:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Muhammad, sorry --Richard Bartz (talk) 10:03, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose lucky shot, if it weren't for the foreground... --Dschwen (talk) 01:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Very nice catch of the moment of encounter between the man and wild animal imo, and the quality is very good. --Lošmi (talk) 12:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose, it's not just a fallen tree, it's a fallen tree that's completely out-of-focus. If it was (more) in-focus it would at least have fit in with the forest environment. --Aqwis (talk) 20:13, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Support, although this is not something to put in biology book, it's a great picture and an excellent illustration for tracking/hunting etc. --che 16:21, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Support A difficult subject to capture well in the wild, and an admirable effort. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to bring us such an ineresting and unique shot. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 18:14, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose definite QI and a great shot, but unfortunately OOF foreground is too distracting for FP --ianaré (talk) 22:34, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Blurred lower half ruins it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 22:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
