Comment This does not strike me as FP material. I see a good (but not exceptional) quality bird photo of a common species (where I live at least), with a somewhat cluttered background, and a non-compelling centered composition. Hockei: As the creator and nominator, can you describe with a few words why you find this is FP material? -- Slaunger (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment to come to the defense of this nomination: imo the low perspective makes the image interesting - the pleasant background is another plus --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing. IMO it's not the decisive point if the species is common or not but if the picture is good in relation to the level of difficulty and (yes) if the composition is good. It's not easy to get pictures from these intelligent clever birds and I'm glad I had the chance for that. The bird wasn't drinking from a puddle in zoo for example but in the wild from a lake while I was sitting in a boat. Normally you cannot point the camera toward these species of birds in a short distance. Not even in a long distance. They will flee immediately if you do that. But I don't want to defend my picture. It's your (and everybody else) decision if it's good for you or not. --Hockei (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Respectful oppose Hockei: I certainly find it justified that you defend your picture and explain why you think it deserves to become featured. You have a valid point with the relative shyness of the common crow (although in my experience they can also be quite urbanized and non-afraid of being relatively close to people). For me though it does not all weigh up for a support; a nice catch, but not sufficiently exceptional for FP in my opinion, sorry. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Quite far below FP standard for birds. Per Slaunger. Plumage lacks detail/quality. The "low perspective" is a basic requirement of photographing animals on the ground, so nothing special there. -- Colin (talk) 11:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Colin. INeverCry 18:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Support I think this is a good photo -- Jiel (talk) 22:38, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Colin. QI for sure, but not enough wow for me Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
