•  Info Golden eagle with handler at the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, a non-profit in Colorado. The bird is their "resident golden eagle," having been rescued back in 1982, and unable to fly. Created/uploaded/nominated by me, and thanks to W.carter for the recent improvements and FPC suggestion. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  05:47, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support - Didn't we vote on a similar photo before? I feel like I previously commented that this or a similar photo had a pretty eagle and pretty woman in it. Anyway, it's quite a striking image, not only because of the beauty of the subjects but also their positioning in the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:17, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: That was your comment at QIC, yes. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  04:25, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

• Ah, that explains the feeling of deja vu. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Could also work for category "People at work". --cart-Talk 08:43, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support I love the expression on both their faces and wonder what they are looking at. -- Colin (talk) 08:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Bird's head in front of woman's doesn't work for me. And the woman is named so shouldn't you have model release? Charles (talk) 10:06, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Charles, a "model release" is a feature of stock photo websites, or professional photographers who sell stock images directly, where they require the model to release all rights controlling use of the image -- this makes it easy for them to sell the image for advertising/promotional purposes. Nobody in their right mind would do that without being paid something in return. Commons does not care what non-copyright hurdles any re-user faces if they wish to use this image for certain purposes. Should anyone wish to use this image for advertising/promotional purposes, they would have to arrange specific permission with the subject, for which they would probably have to pay. Model releases are not a feature of any images on Commons unless the photo was already taken for professional purposes and the photographer happened to have a release anyway. See COM:IDENT. -- Colin (talk) 11:27, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose It's cool, but the woman's obscured face ruins the fun for me.--Peulle (talk) 11:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Good social shot. --Mile (talk) 12:26, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose as per Charles and Peulle. Yann (talk) 17:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

• IMO the line of three eyes and two noses/beaks is one of the significant things that makes you stop and look at this photo. --cart-Talk 20:01, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose per others --Uoaei1 (talk) 17:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Maybe if it were just the bird's beak and her face, but as it is there's just too much going on here for me to consider it an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 17:46, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice but not excellent for me. The woman should look to the bird and we should see her eyes both. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 15:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination — Rhododendrites ^talk |  16:19, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
