•  Oppose It's good photo, but not enough sharp to FP, sorry. --Beyond silence 15:41, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  •  Info - Image was slightly sharpen and downsampled. I think it is ok now. Alvesgaspar 16:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose If this was a wild animal then it would probably be good enough, but this is a very very common animal, and I expect absolute technical perfection in a shot like this. -- Ram-Man 16:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
  • It is very hard to photograph common animals(pets). They usually do not want to pose.--Mbz1 03:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)Mbz1
    • Technicallly, if this is Felis sylvestris, not Felis catus, it is a wild animal. That said, although Felis sylvestris does have that pattern quite often, "street she-cat" doesn't quite sound right as a description. Adam Cuerden 07:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment - Maybe this picture lacks the necessary wow factor for FP status, that is easy to accept. But I don't understand why it is being rejected on the basis of technical reasons. The image is sharp, detailed, well composed, and the colours are nice and natural. DOF was carefully chosen to keep the background blurred and give some depth to the head, even at the expense of some slightly unfocused areas. I went through all pictures listed in the Felis silvestris catus page and, frankly, I couldn't find a better one (including Fir0002's). Adam Cuerten is right, the sub-species should read "Felis silvestris catus". - Alvesgaspar 11:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
