Oppose as-is. The caption is speculative and unencyclopaedic. No comment on the image's quality or appropriateness of black-and-white photography. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Quality is good, EV is great. Very "wow" image. I do not agree with the image being in B&W, it seems to me as a cheap way to add more emotion. If this image is impossible to retake, I'd overlook the B&W. Agree with Paul that the caption is not WP-material. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:07, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Don't see why a modern day nature picture has to be in B&W. What does it add in terms of EV? --Muhammad(talk) 14:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Muhammad. I especially want to see an animal like this in color. If it's a human subject, this would be less important. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 18:44, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's a very powerful picture (and would not look out of place on an animal rights/liberation pamphlet, or the cover of a work looking at non-human emotion) but I have to agree that the EV is somewhat lacking. J Milburn (talk) 10:24, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
