 * Support Alt 1 - I think it needs a crop. Kaldari (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Pinging for opinions on crop. Kaldari (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Happy with crop. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Kaldari, except reducing the size, what else would be the difference ? I seriously like the crop but I still prefer to see the tiger in a wide jungle background. Is makes more effective as far as the "Wildlife" is concerned in IMHO :- DreamSparrow  Chat   12:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The main difference is being able to see the tiger itself better at thumbnail size (and also matching the photo of the male tiger at Bengal tiger). I don't think any important information about the surroundings is lost in the crop. Kaldari (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Am sorry, I did not say important surroundings lost but I liked the first combination. Surprisingly Charlesjsharp captured it in 62mm FL . DreamSparrow  Chat   17:56, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * We were so lucky. She walked right past my jeep. I put down my 100-400mm and grabbed my 24-70mm - that's why I carry two bodies - no time to change lenses... Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:43, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I like the composition of the original better as well, but I feel like a more straight-forward framing of the subject is typically the norm on Wikipedia, which makes sense given the small amount of screen space that we allocate for images. If I was going to pick one of these images to frame or use as a desktop, however, I would definitely choose the uncropped one. Kaldari (talk) 19:50, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * See discussion I have started on the FP talk page Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * This has been resolved with a fix that allows a cropped version to be displayed in the infobox. So voters here can ask a nominator to use the template and perhaps we should incorporate this in FP guidelines? Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:12, 18 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Support either, prefer original now that the crop issue has been resolved. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:50, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
