Support -- Baresi franco (talk) 20:49, 22 February 2014 (UTC)- Support ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 21:28, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry Baresi, but the head is not very well-focused. And the bird "stands out" in the picture in the wrong way. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 01:22, 23 February 2014 (UTC)- Support I don't agree, in my opinion the head is focused well. Halavar (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Support --Mile (talk) 19:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Focus is not on the head / eyes. The FP bird bar is quite high, and this one is imho no FP. --Tuxyso (talk) 10:40, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Tuxyso. This is a common bird. -- Colin (talk) 12:42, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Focus is IMHO acceptable but this picture looks strange to me, have you reworked the bokeh with a noising mask? to me the bird looks isolated from the enviroment, especially around the head. Poco2 21:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment - I've done some background noise reduction via a mask, but nothing drastic. The isolation from the environment is caused by a very strong backlight from sun reflected off a window, and combined with the facing side getting the direct sunlight is part of the reason I like it so much. If it was just backlit you'd lose contrast in the subject, but here you don't - this does look different, I'll grant you. This here was one that got away (and in a slightly different spot along the same branch), but also shows the same backlit effect. The light was reflected off a small window, and only lasted a few minutes to illuminate this particular spot --Baresi franco (talk) 22:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
Example of the front/backlight - I've uploaded a crop from the original that hasn't had any work done to compare - it's second from the top in the file history. Cheers --Baresi franco (talk) 22:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose Heavy photoshoping. Not realistic picture. --Kikos (talk) 07:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Comment Above comments confirm my thoughts that the bird seems to "stand out" in the picture - but not in the good way. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 15:07, 25 February 2014 (UTC)- Oppose per Tuxyso. —Blurred Lines 17:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Obviously not popular lighting conditions for a bird-on-a-twig photo. Thanks for the comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baresi franco (talk • contribs) 02:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
