IMO the image adds value to the article it appears in by showing a close up face of Emperor Tamarin
Proposed caption
The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a
tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the
GermanemperorWilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name. This
tamarin lives in the southwest
Amazon Basin, in east
Peru, north
Bolivia and in the west
Brazilianstates of
Acre and
Amazonas. The males and females Emperor Tamarin look alike. Males are the ones, who are
carrying babies on their backs. The Original nominated image shows female Emperor Tamarin. The image was taken in
San FranciscoZoo.

Neutral, i love these animals, and the picture is great. You'll need to get rid of the noise in the background before i can give you my support, though. --

Support Edit 2, much sharper. --

Oppose Original and Edit 1 - despite the downsampling, the poor quality of the original (
Image:Tamarin portrait.JPG) is not fixed in these versions. Weak Support Edit 3 - this brings back some sharpness, however the blown highlights are unrecoverable and an unfortunate failing of the image, hence the weak support. --

Thank you, Fir002. Your version is much, much better. If nobody minds, can I please delete two originals from the nomination just to clear the space. I'd also like to delete Edit 1 as soon as Muhammad Mahdi Karim quits his support for it. Thank you.--

Question. What's that coming out of its mouth? --
ffroth 23:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)reply
Thank you for your question,ffroth. This Tamarin is behind the glass with a very strong reflection. When the image was taken, the Tamarins had babies and visitors were ordered to stay 5 feet away from the glass do not disturb them. I hardly could see anything at all leave alone to take a picture. What you are seeing coming out of her mouth is probably a reflection from my flash. I've tried to remove it in my new edit, but of corse I'd rather Peter would do it, if he has a time and wish to give it a try. Thank you.--

Nah you seem to have done a good job. Thanks for the compliments :) --
Fir0002 08:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)reply
Seems pretty unlikely that the reflection would center itself perfectly within its mouth --
ffroth 02:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)reply
So in your opinion it was not a camera artifact? --
Mbz1 02:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC)reply
It's not in the original or edit 1, so my guess is that is was a slip while Fir0002 was making edit 2.
thegreen J Are you green? 03:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)reply
Thank you for your question,thegreen. There was no slip in Fir0002 edit. He did a great job. Let me, please, explain how it happened. Remember Fir0002 mentioned that I downsampled the image before nominating it? I not only downsampled it, but also got rid of this "sweet spot". That's why you could not see it in my original or Edit 1. It was present at the original (before downsampling) as you could see in this image: . Fir0002 has used original (before downsampling)to make his edits. That's why you could see it at his edit.Of course it is ma fault. I should have mentioned in the description of the downsampled image that it was retouched. I just did not think it was so important. Sorry about misundersdanding.--

I think that the little gleam in the middle is a reflection off whatever the red thing is. But what's the red thing? --

Support edit 3. Very nice picture and great work done by Fir and Mbz editing it.

Thank you for your vote and support ,H92110, but I really cannot accept the credit. All of the credit is going to Fir0002.--

Support edit 3. Wow!

Weak Support Edit 3. Quality is not perfect, but given the conditions it was taken in it's a very good, well composed shot. --
