You know you can't both abstain and support, right? :P --Peulle (talk) 22:31, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah... 😅 But as the nominator I can't vote anyway. ;D ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 22:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What on earth gave you that idea? Of course you can vote on your own nominations. You are proud of your photo, aren't you? What do you think all the rest of us are doing. ;) --Cart (talk) 23:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@W.carter: Well, even if we can't the vote doesn't count... :D ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 23:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just worried that this'll end up with only MB's vote lmao. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 00:00, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I know that the 'weak support' can't be counted but I don't understand why you always write abstain on your noms. Ok, some nominators do that as a some sort of modesty thing, but most of us mortals are happy for every vote we can get including our own. It's perfectly within the rules. You can read it in the FPC#Voting section: "Everybody can vote for his/her own nominations." --Cart (talk) 00:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Cart. Or consider things this way : you need at least 6 supports from others (without too many oppose). The fact you like your image and nominate it here is certainly meaningful -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --MB-one (talk) 16:21, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment As I said to GerifalteDelSabana on my talk page, I'm between neutral and weak support for this one. I find the composition good, but there are a few issues concerning the quality. The main problem is certainly the highlights of the background. Concerning the frame, I find it a bit large, with big room on top and not enough on the bottom. The drop from the beak is great, and it's a good action shot -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Daniel, I'm sure you've read this? "Featured pictures candidates should meet all the following requirements, must have a "wow factor" and may or may not have been created by a Commons user. Given sufficient "wow factor" and mitigating circumstances, a featured picture is permitted to fall short on technical quality." The face is sharp enough to see a few individual feathers so I'm not sure what unsharpness deserves an oppose... :o ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 01:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment If I fully focused on the face, people would complain about other parts not being in focus and tell me to put a deeper DoF, which will bring the rocks in the background in focus and become a distraction, which people would complain even more about. It's the best shot under the circumstances, let me remind you this is a picture of an active animal eating, repeatedly dipping his head and swiveling back and forth. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 01:22, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: I hope you'll reconsider your vote after reading what I wrote. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 01:24, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@GerifalteDelSabana: We have a lot of other bird FPs, from many nominations, and in all of them it has been constant that the bird's face, if nothing else, has to be sharp. Daniel Case (talk) 01:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: I don't see any bird FPs wherein the subject is standing on the prey of equal size, eating. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 01:31, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Daniel Case: If you have finished giving me the reason for your oppose vote, could you show me an FP with the same subject doing the same action with better technical quality? If so, I will withdraw the nomination. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 02:00, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
