Note - There is another active nomination of this subject, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Proboscis bats (81745).jpg. It was suggested there that this shot may be preferable. As it's a totally different photo (not another version of the same photo), it does not quality as an alternative in the same nom. Figured I'd just nominate it separately to see what happens. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: Withdrew the other one, as there seems like a clear preference for this one. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 19:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support They are both FP. If the consensus is that only one should be promoted, I'll change my vote and strike my support on whichever has the least support. Cmao20 (talk) 21:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support These bats look like natural branches of a tree. And I find this picture better than the other one, due to a more appealing light, higher level of detail, and a great background, that makes the subject standing out visually. -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support I prefer this one and -as I would do with an alt- oppose the other one. Poco a poco (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
