 * Support Like you said, very clear and sharp. Very visually appealing too.  --Midnight Rider 01:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. While it doesn't show the entire body, it does show the face in high detail. -- Tewy  02:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support Overly tight cropping, and wandering depth of field. But a wonderful picture. HighInBC 03:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, beautiful detail. Phoenix2 04:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Excellent detail. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-10-13 06:55Z
 * Support. Vibrissae, anyone? Nautica Shad e  s  07:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. While I agree with most of the sentiments above, I find the crop just too tight. In particular I don't like the ears being chopped off. --jjron 08:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Excellent pic. Contrary to what Jjron would prefer a good closeup on an animal is refreshing - Adrian Pingstone 11:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support The mask is an important feature of a racoon and this picture clearly demonstraits that feature. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 14:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Very clear and sharp picture. Hello32020 20:24, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Great detail, visually appealing and adds significantly to the article it is in. T REX speak 01:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Great snapshot of the face, but it would be nice to see a bigger photo; this looks cropped Thegreenj 02:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose; too chopped down, where's the body?-- Andeh 23:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Not if it's in Vibrissae (Whiskers). Nautica Shad e  s  09:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * oppose, cropped WAY too tight, even the whiskers are partially cropped if you're trying to illustrate that. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 17:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it's trying to illustrate the raccoon's mask.  howch e  ng   {chat} 22:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That was just triggered by all the vibrissae comments above, it's not anywhere near as good a picture for them as the one we just promoted. As for the face, the way it just blurs off to the right makes the face/head indistinct from a part of the body that I'm pretty sure is not directly connected to it.

 * Oppose per Night Gyr and jjron. Too, cropped, however good it is. I would change to a Strong Support if an uncropped version can be found. | AndonicO 14:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * There was no cropping, I shot it in that way. Darkone 12:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. If you want uncropped check Common Raccoon. There are two full body shots. --Dschwen 12:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Great picture with superb detail. I think it would loose charm if not cropped only to the face. -- Alvesgaspar 20:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
