Pro . High quality, "WOW"-factor arises by the water droplets from the snout of the specimen in the middle.

- This photograph depicts 3 different viewing angles of an impala, hence a high educational value. -- Grand-Duc ( talk) 00:30, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Drinking position also adds EV. ZooFari ( talk) 01:29, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment I echo the concerns above - there are already four impala FPs - kind of hard to justify a fifth. I'd suggest a delist and replace of the current female FP ( File:Female impala.jpg) as this one is higher image quality and has the additional EV of the waterhole (grasslands already being shown in the male impala FP and the oxpecker FP) -- Fir0002 04:23, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment This is the species: petersi (Aepyceros melampus petersi = black-faced impala) from the north of Namibia. The other FP impala is the species melampus (Aepyceros melampus melampus) from the east of Afrika. -- Alchemist-hp ( talk) 10:22, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support Different subspecies gives enough EV for me, though I agree we probably need to have a impala trim. JJ Harrison ( talk) 04:30, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose Again impalas? Imho bad composition, overall too dark and has nothing eyecatching.--

- Yes, again an impala, but incl. hooves! And I think you need to calibrate your monitor. The image isn't dark. It is perfect exposed. Take a look to his
histogram. --

- My monitor is perfectly fine. File:Serengeti Impala3.jpg has better contrast and composition. Background is out of focus.-- ♫GoP♫ T C N 14:51, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose Image is executed well technically, but lacks a certain bang. No argument about EV, it just doesn't grab me the way I expect an FP to do. Clegs ( talk) 09:53, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support. -- Spurzem ( talk) 11:45, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Not a fan of the harshness and direction of the lighting. It creates annoying shadows that distract form the facial features. -- Dschwen 15:40, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

- A close one, but if dissenters don't make their objections official, there's little a closer can or should do. Grand-Duc, please use "support" in future instead of "Pro". Thank you. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 ( talk) 21:31, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
