Little Penguin[edit]

Original - Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor), also known as the Fairy Penguin, Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
Didn't pass FPC since apparently flash photographs are a no-no, even for birds that only spend time on land at night. Regardless, the photo was difficult to take, and the only decent non-zoo shot on wikipedia.

  • Oppose as it's only a gallery image in the one article it's in (goes against the first criterium). I do remember this image though, and supported it at FPC. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 22:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Someone just condensed all the article images into a gallery, against the WP:MOS. Fixed anyway Noodle snacks (talk) 01:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Still question the EV of the image. It's not the main image, and it's not all that prominently featured in the article. Does it really make a difference to the article? I think that's pretty debatable. No offense intended, of course. ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 06:04, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Real life Little Penguins spend the day at sea, then return to their burrows at night. A picture of one in daylight at the Zoo or Sea World during daylight is unrealistic and misleading. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
