• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds/Accipitriformes#Family_:_Accipitridae_(Buzzards,_Eagles,_hawks_and_Kites)
•  Info The bird was intent on enjoying its prey (probably a rodent) in a dead tree in the middle of the reservoir, it did not heed the photographer drifting near in a boat. There are no FP's of genus Haliastur so I've linked the gallery for the family. Created by Tagooty - uploaded by Tagooty - nominated by Tagooty -- Tagooty (talk) 14:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Definition in feathers is missing. Background does no favours to a light-coloured bird. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:25, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
•  Neutral per Charles, I like it but unsure whether the above criticisms make it one of the best on Commons. It's nice to have a pic where it's eating its prey though Cmao20 (talk) 10:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support ok, fair points made below. Cmao20 (talk) 10:24, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Question Do we make some allowances for the fact that this is not just a photo of a bird but a photo of a bird eating prey? Or is that mainly at QIC or something? This is a good photo. If we're judging it purely as a picture of a bird, I see the point that pictures of birds can be more pinpoint sharp. I sort of feel like it would be fine as an FP, but it depends on what standards we should be using to judge it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:20, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment @Cmao20: @Charlesjsharp: There are 85 FPs of Hawks, Eagles, Vultures and Relatives. Only 1 of these is a bird eating prey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagooty (talk • contribs)

•  Support That's a great picture, better than this, but it's also smaller, so I think this photo, which shows a good level of detail even if not the highest level imaginable, deserves a feature. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:51, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

• There is also this FP? I believe the standards should be the same, except we can promote very rare/difficult to get shots of course (see JJH current FPC). Otherwise Should I be nominating this, or this? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:57, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

• My answers: (1) Really striking image, but I lean towards not. (2) I would probably vote for. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:11, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
