Original - The tiger (
Panthera tigris) is a mammal of the
Felidae family, the largest of four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and
southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an
obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 feet) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger tiger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids. Aside from their great bulk and power, their most recognizable feature is the pattern of dark vertical stripes that overlays near-white to reddish-orange fur, with lighter underparts.
Reason
clear well focused and it meets the FPC criteria and should be featured.
Support-Excellent image showing facial details in closeup. Look at the clarity around eyes and mustaches. Good lighting and no special effects. --

Oppose regretfully. I don't know what it is about this image, it's not out of focus, but it's not quite in focus either. Wish is was, 'cause it's a great pose.

Weak oppose, regretfully. Good lighting, good pose, and I have gotten over my distaste for head-only animal portraits. But the focus isn't quite up to the standards of other FP animal portraits: , , , for example.
Oppose It meets the requirements, but the resolution is STILL an issue. I would love to see this at higher resolution.
