Cocker Spaniel

 * Reason:This is my first nomination, so I chose my best picture. It is attractive, and good quality with beautiful contrast. It is true color and I think it would make a valuable photo for an encyclopedia.
 * Articles this image appears in:English Cocker Spaniel
 * Creator:ZooFari

 * Oppose. Sorry, but this has no chance to be FP, one technical reason is totally blown (stark white) highlights, another is that it is totally unsharp in full size - appears upsampled. --Janke | Talk 19:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose In addition to what Janke has listed, there appears to be a sharpness halo resulting from an artificial blurring of the background - executed very bluntly, by the looks of it. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose and recommend speedy close to spare the uploader the comments this pic will assuredly get. Matt Deres (talk) 00:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
