  • Oppose Not sharp, fur and paw is overexposed, not so good lighting (light emphasizes on body rather than face). Jó Kritika (talk) 01:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I see what you mean.... I think I can fix the lighting and overexposure with some photo editing. I'll put up an edited version soon.----Nanoman657 (talk) 1:26:36 Monday March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Comment I think I fixed the problem with Edit 1, is it satisfactory? Viewers can still see that there's a shadow, but it is much more pleasing to the eye.----Nanoman657 (talk)9:12, Tuesday March 29, 2011(UTC)

  • Oppose. There's already a (IMO better) FP image of an Eastern Grey Squirrel and I'm not really sure that showing it gripping the tree is a unique enough characteristic to justify it being a FP. Also, image page information is a bit lacking... No description, no license. It'll likely be deleted unless you fix the license at the very least. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I was refering to Edit 1 when I said no description or license. The original image page description is still not very detailed or encyclopaedic though. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:39, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I put in copyright status of the picture. I didn't see the 'upload new version' link to the original and was slightly confused.----Nanoman657 (talk) 9:12, Tuesday March 29, 2011(UTC)

  • Oppose -- As above. The picture is superfluous in the article. Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
