• Oppose agree with J Milburn, and I'm not at all convinced that this adds significant EV to the article Baghdad Zoo. Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 22:02, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
• Sorry I also don't like the composition. There are 5 people in this photo, it would be much better if the 3 unimportant people weren't there. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose An interesting story behind the photo, but the arm in the foreground ruins it for me at least. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:14, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
