Reason: Illustrates camera panning clearly using an original subject. The motion blur in most of the hen's body and legs adds to the feeling of motion
Articles in which this image appears: Panning (camera)
FP category for this image: Birds and Photographic techniques, terms, and equipment
Creator: Alvesgaspar (talk)

Info -- A second try as I wasn't satisfied with the outcome of the first (here) and believe that the picture deserves the distinction. Not for its cutness (which certainly helps) but mainly because of its ev. Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The image has minimal EV though. It's only in one article and it replaced an image that, in my opinion, better illustrated the concept of panning. There are some things I don't find attractive in this image in particular. The background does not have that horizontal crisp "panning feel" that is appealing in the former image of the article (and lead image) The low shutter speed has made the subject underexposed or less appealing contrast. Since the chicken moves up and down, I'm not sure if it is a good subject to use for illustrating panning. What's the rebuttal to the opinions in the previous nomination?

Oppose per all the reasons given in the mentioned previous nom (and above). I feel these are all better illustrations of panning. (and 2 are already FPs...) Nik thestoned 10:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and recommend booting it out of the panning article. The previous picture was much better. Clegs (talk) 11:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This picture already represents camera panning as a featured picture. That picture is IMO far better to represent the article. This nominated picture is alright (i guess...), but it doesn't really represent camera panning that well. I can take a picture like this by pointing my camera at my dog (while she is running) and taking a quick picture. Its just not a good representative picture, and i don't feel it is really the best picture Wikipedia has to offer on this subject. Dusty777 (talk) 21:08, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above and my comments in the previous nom (which I think are still valid!). File:2007 swifts creek lawnmower races05.jpg is IMO a far superior example of panning and shouldn't have been replaced by this in the article. --Fir0002 04:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
