  Sorry, despite being a member for some time, I'm still a beginner with wikis. Thanks so much! Buiobuione (talk) 22:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Seems way too dark; please explain, Buiobuione. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

  It is something that I have always fought with and which, not being a professional and unfortunately not having adequate equipment, I have never been able to solve. The lighting and the calibration of the monitor (I have a laptop) leads me to accentuate the contrasts too much in Lightroom by increasing the black too much or, depending on the case, the white. In this case probably, the excess of dust in the air that made the image unclear in my opinion, probably led me to make this mistake. I'm sorry if this can get annoying Buiobuione (talk) 23:18, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

• The very simple answer I would give here concerning the darkness is: the sun is in front, not behind. Which means we see the side where the shadows are, not the side with light -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:10, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

  Yes, actually this is the main reason that is repeated in all the shots of the attack sequence (it's on my profile) Buiobuione (talk) 09:04, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

•  Oppose If it were a much tighter closeup ... in which case we'd want it to be lighter. Daniel Case (talk) 21:30, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

  Yes, no doubt it would have been better but if I had tried to take a close-up I would have gone the way of the giraffe Buiobuione (talk) 10:49, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Nice capture and maybe a QI, but not an FP per above. And one thing to keep in mind is that while there are definitely some allowances made for the difficulty of a shot, ultimately, what we're judging here is whether the result produced one of the best photos on the site, and we're spoiled for great wildlife photos by User:Charlesjsharp, User:Martin Falbisoner, User:Frank Schulenburg, User:JJ Harrison and several other folks. Regardless of the outcome of this nomination, you can certainly try COM:VIC, and a nomination at COM:VIC is also possible if you pick the right scope and determine whether this photo is best in scope. COM:Photography critiques can also be helpful, though responses are not always very timely. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

• Grazie davvero per la tua critica costruttiva, è anche per questo, per poter apprendere, che vi espongo qualche scatto. E grazie perchè mi ha fatto apprezzare il lavoro di User:Charlesjsharp, User:Martin Falbisoner, User:Frank Schulenburg e User:JJ Harrison . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buiobuione (talk • contribs)

• Prego. Ci sono ancora altri. User:Rhododendrites ha nominato molte belle foto di uccelli e mi ricordo un'eccellente foto di un scoiattolo. Vedi Commons:Featured pictures#Animals per tutte le foto degli animali. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I edited your photo Buiobuione to see if I could improve it. It would still not be FP (or QI) but I hope it might be an improvement. You can revert the images if you like it. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:33, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

  I have seen User:Charlesjsharp and I am infinitely grateful to you. I am still far behind in the use of wp and I would not be able to and moreover that shot is part of a sequence that I also sent to the wiki science and I do not think it is possible to modify it anymore. Finally, seeing your photos and those of others, however, I would never reach the perfection of your shots (I promise I will come back only if I really have something tricky to exhibit). In any case, your work helped me a lot to understand exactly the mistakes I made in post production with both this and other photos. You were really kind, thanks again Buiobuione (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
