•  Info created & uploaded by User:JJ Harrison - nominated by User:Ikan Kekek -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:12, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support - I really like the wing extension, and this is extremely sharp for a photo of a bird in flight. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:12, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Blown highlights unfortunately and it is lost in the background. Charles (talk) 07:54, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

• User:JJ Harrison, if you'd like to address Charles' objections, please go ahead. Charles, I have to respect your expertise in shooting birds. I agree that the photo could be improved if the highlights are reduced somewhat, though I hadn't thought about it because I was busy being impressed, but I don't know how anyone could lose a mostly black and partly white bird in a bright blue background. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, a blue background is needed for a black and white bird. Doesn't work on days like this. Charles (talk) 09:00, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

• Works for me, so I don't really get it, but I imagine you feel like a darker blue sky would provide a better background, and therefore, this isn't as good as this type of photo could be. Darker blue would contrast less with the black, though? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Support per nomination, good sharpness for a bird in flight. Cmao20 (talk) 15:38, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Weak support: not too happy with the overexposed parts as well, but I think this can be forgiven for a dynamic subject --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles. Too-bright bird against too-pale sky. Daniel Case (talk) 23:23, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose good shot but unfortunately partially overexposed. --Fischer.H (talk) 09:12, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment - It seems clear this won't pass unless perhaps if User:JJ Harrison tones down the highlights, but it's under consideration until April 1, so I'll wait a little longer and see if JJ logs into Commons between now and then. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:11, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Tomer T (talk) 23:16, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
