•  Info All by me. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Abstain as nominator and photographer. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Support However, the image page needs optimizations: overcategorization (Butorides striata javanica is sufficient, as it is a sub-category of Butorides striata) and image text (what means "The same ..."?). --Uoaei1 (talk) 06:02, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

• @Uoaei1:  Done. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 06:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

•  Support very sharp head and interesting pose --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:29, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Yes interesting pose, but I think we have now enough FP of this bird. This alone is not enough to oppose for me, but the unnatural environment (railing?) and the non-optimal background have given the rest. --A.Savin 06:42, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

•  Comment @A.Savin: May I remind you that Kuala Lumpur is a large city. The background is of the bank of the small lake/pond. I also disagree of your argument that there are "enough FPs" of the bird. IMHO, your statement is rather thoughtless and pointless. Other birds have many more pictures. I could have uploaded this image to other websites to sell, and copyrighted it. But I choose not to. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 06:55, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

• As I wrote, several FP of the same bird is not reason enough for me to oppose (at least in this case), other people may have a different opinion on it. However, we have plenty of excellent wildlife pictures with natural setting, and this one doesn't stand up. But some your other photos of common birds in Kuala Lumpur have excellent background setting (e.g. the portrait of this heron), but this one is not as good, imho. --A.Savin 09:53, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - This one is different from the others because of the bird's pose, about to catch a fish. I really like this as a "right before the action" shot. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:53, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Agree with A.Savin I'm afraid. You've got three FPs of this bird, taken within days/hours. This is the weakest nomination, and FP is about the finest. I don't like the concrete diagonal. If you take a picture that you think is much better than the existing ones, then by all means offer it. But also remember reviewers do fatigue of seeing the same subject repeated within days. "Bird from various angles" only has so much interest for most people, and "same bird from various angles" is stretching our interest to breaking. Better to try bird catching food, feeding young, flying/landing, mating ritual, etc: photos showing behaviour are much rarer on Commons and will keep us interested. Wrt uploading pictures vs selling, well that is the same for all us photographers. Thanks for sharing your photos, but that alone is not an argument for FP. -- Colin (talk) 08:24, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others; this is not a remarkable shot.--Peulle (talk) 10:58, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 13:57, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
