  • @ Charlesjsharp, MER-C, Bammesk, and Mydreamsparrow: Pinging for opinions on crop. Kaldari ( talk) 23:06, 15 March 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Happy with crop. Charlesjsharp ( talk) 09:58, 16 March 2020 (UTC) reply
    • 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) reply
      • @ Mydreamsparrow: 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) reply
        • @ Kaldari: 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) reply
          • 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) reply
          • @ Mydreamsparrow: 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) reply
• See discussion I have started on the FP talk page Charlesjsharp ( talk) 21:52, 17 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• 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) reply

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