•  Support IMO could do with a little bit of selective sharpening on the body (not the head) of the bird, but good composition and quality, and better resolution than the existing FP of this species (though I would not support delisting that one, it is still good to me).

  thanks for the suggestion, I will do the revision ASAP. Eka343 (talk) 10:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose No definition in the feathers. It is a good idea to check other images before a nomination, like this one on enwiki. I have just uploaded this image as another example. This nom does not have the quality of the existing FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• The one you link to from JJ Harrison is good but IMO not one of his best, I don't think the head is that sharp and is it just my monitor or is there a little bit of colour noise on the body? Yours is really superb though Charles. You should nominate it here or I will. Cmao20 (talk) 14:00, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks; please do, but perhaps withdraw support for this nom! Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:06, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• Yours and this one have very different angle, composition and colours, and I still like the composition of this photo and the choice of crop to place the bird in one corner and have some lead room. Well, not quite lead room as it's not a moving subject, but negative space ahead of where the subject is looking. Main flaw in this one is as you say that the focus has been missed slightly on the feathers. But I think I'll keep my vote. Yours is better but plenty of birds have 3 or 4 FP Cmao20 (talk) 14:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Charles, thanks for the replay. I just read your book the other day. Really enjoyed reading it, i learn a lot from it and i also quite likes your humors. I Didn't expect to see you commented in my photo :D. Sorry if this picture is not quite your standard. I just beginning learning photography, tbh this photo is my 3rd times using my first camera. I'm also not familiar about this featured picture, quality picture stuff. The rule is quite hard to understand for me a beginner here and also not a native speaker. Hopefully in the future i can improve my skill to be quite your standard. tbh I didn't really like the pose of the bird and the angel I take the photo. I just nominated it because i like the light and the mood. Eka343 (talk) 14:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

• Sorry if I was too harsh. I hadn't noted you were new here. But as you can see, my view is a minority (of) one. Everyone has different ways of looking at a photo and most don't pixel-peep like I do... Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Beautiful composition, gesture and light; exquisite background. IMHO we should abandon these “There can be only one” (or two or three …) discussions; FPs are not Highlanders. This one and that one are completely different from the present picture. --Aristeas (talk) 14:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
