- Info -- A second try as I wasn't satisfied with the outcome of the first (here) and believe that the picture deserves the distinction. Not for its cutness (which certainly helps) but mainly because of its ev. Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

- The image has minimal EV though. It's only in one article and it replaced an image that, in my opinion, better illustrated the concept of panning. There are some things I don't find attractive in this image in particular. The background does not have that horizontal crisp "panning feel" that is appealing in the former image of the article (and lead image) The low shutter speed has made the subject underexposed or less appealing contrast. Since the chicken moves up and down, I'm not sure if it is a good subject to use for illustrating panning. What's the rebuttal to the opinions in the previous nomination?
