Camel

 * Reason:It's a camel. It's in really good condition, for example the shape of the hump, etc. It's taken in outback Australia (not a zoo or wildlife park or anything like that). It's pretty much a perfect pose for an encyclopaedic image. Lighting, colours and image quality are good. What else can you ask for?
 * Proposed caption:The dromedary camel or one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) is a large even-toed ungulate native to northern Africa and western Asia. The world's only population of dromedaries exhibiting wild behaviour is an introduced feral population in Australia.

 * Support. The angle of the head isn't ideal as it makes it slightly difficult to see the shape or the features - profile would have been better, but the image is still good enough for FPC. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Not perfect, but good enough IMO, too. A little larger, a little sharper would always be better. --Janke | Talk 18:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Good enough.--HereToHelp 20:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support An overall good picture. IP changes  the box  22:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Simple, good composition, subjected framed very centrally on fitting background, useful --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  13:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Support: Right side of the head is obscured by a shadow and the composition isn't the best, but since we don't have any better camel pictures, good enough. -- snowolf D4  (  talk  /  @   ) 14:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote Snowolfd4. I wonder if you could just clarify for me what you meant about the composition - are you just talking about the shadows on the head, or would you prefer full profile as per Diliff, or was it something else? --jjron 09:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
