Conditional Support – I would like a slight CW rotation, since the image looks tilted visually, even if it may not be, technically... --Janke | Talk 05:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't think this 'Adds significant encyclopedic value' any more than the picture it replaced a couple of weeks ago. And to represent the NP, a normal daylight shot would be better, showing more of the terrain. An animal should not be the focus of the main image illustrating a National Park, and certainly not a feral animal. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:18, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The feral population is widely noted in the literature, hence why this image was selected over (say) the peacock one. The buffalo adds EV; it is a widely recognized fauna of the region. You are welcome to feel the image lacks appropriate EV, but your assertion that a feral animal is "certainly not" capable of representing an area is verifiably false. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As for this being no different than the image it replaced, reviews of Baluran on pages such as TripAdvisor focus on the Africa-esque savanna; the park also advertises itself as "Little Africa in Java". The savanna has much greater EV. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as Buffalo is mixed up in background. Marvellous Spider-Man 14:19, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
