•  Oppose - At full size, almost all of this photo is blurry except for the flamingo, and even at full-page size - a small photo, given its width - the top third or fourth of the photo is very blurred. I understand that you're focusing on the flamingo, but how does all the blurred background make the photo better than if you cropped it at least somewhat closer? At that degree of blurriness, I don't think the change in tone to brown really does much good. I expect others to disagree and defend the bokeh, but this photo isn't one I would have picked to nominate. Do you have any other closeups of flamingos that are a little less blurry at full-page size? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:35, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment yes, a tighter crop might be better here --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:18, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose I do not like the composition and light, sorry. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

  Ikan Kekek: well, I'm a bit surprised about the outcome here. Other flamingo pictures that are featurable in my opinion could be: this, this or this. Poco² 09:43, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
