•  Comment The light is very good, and I like the fact that the resolution is hight. But tell me: have you considered doing a bit of noise reduction?--Peulle (talk) 14:14, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Peulle: I did a very slight noise reduction in the RAW-processing. I tried not to lose any details of the heron, so a bit of noise is OK for me. -- Wolf im Wald 01:45, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

•  Neutral Beautiful picture of the bird, but the background is disturbing me.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:56, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Neutral There are three things, which are disturbing me in full resolution: 1.) the noise, 2.) overexposed areas in the grass but also even in the heron itself, and 3.) the left part of the picture is completely unsharp whereras the right part (in about the same distance) is not. --Llez (talk) 11:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Famberhorst and Llez. Also, perhaps I'm biased because I see these birds almost every day (this time of year) in the shallows of the river while I'm walking across the bridges near my house, but this really doesn't seem like an extraordinary picture of them. Yes, I know they're in their natural habitat, but I'd like to see a little more of them and not so much of the environment. As it is, it's a QI possibly (certainly in composition) but not an FP for me. Daniel Case (talk) 02:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
