  • Support, may need a rule-of-thirds compliant crop, but support either way. Rhobite 04:10, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, thumbs up. Enochlau 04:29, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support - back to the dog photos... but the gentle backlighting here works quite well. I think the composition already works and is close enough to the rule-of-thirds. -- Solipsist 07:28, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, I like the composition as it is. -- [[User:Solitude|Solitude\talk]] 08:01, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Support either way, but I do like the current version. Matthewcieplak 02:14, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Good, but not superb. ed g2stalk 22:18, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Give me the same shot of this guy in an Artic setting (its natural environment) and I support it in a split second. It is still great for the article though. Janderk 00:21, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Support, although I agree with Janderk, that a picture of an arctic wolf in natural environment would be even nicer. On a side note - Janderk, this is a girl wolf, not a guy wolf. ^^ -- Schneelocke (cheeks clone) [[]] 01:38, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Curious: How do you tell that it is a she? I could not find that in the article. Janderk 15:51, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • Schnee took the picture. :-) Jwrosenzweig 21:26, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Comment. There are thousands of shots of canines out there (mostly from government wildlife agencies). Is this really the best we can find? Just today I came across Image:Coyote_portrait.jpg. ed g2stalk 05:01, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Janderk. --Aqua 23:21, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Ed. James F. (talk) 03:53, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Support - Why is Janderk so certain that this isn't the natural setting? The habitat of the Arctic Wolf extends South of the tree line and even the North has summers where the snow thaws. I like the photo, and I think it is all the more striking because the wolf is not surrounded by snow. -- Oarih 07:55, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
