Info All by -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Support -- Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)- Support We do have quite a few FPs of herons, so perhaps we should have some delist votes soon, but I really like the light and colour in this one, so I'm in favour.--Peulle (talk) 00:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
Oppose The branches break up the image unnecessarily and distract from the bird. Daniel Case (talk) 16:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)- Support I like the composition and use of empty space. Turns this from a portrait of a bird perching into a portrait of a bird looking at an unknown something. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Not enough space on top, and the branches look awkward, per Daniel -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:33, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Comment Well, this is a photograph of a bird in the wild that shows the subject in its natural environment, looking at the camera, as opposed to other pictures of zoo animals in artificial environments in uninteresting poses where you can´t see their eyes. Showing the surroundings is also an important part of documentary photography ;) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- As this image is "opposed to other pictures of zoo animals in uninteresting poses", I regret the pose of this bird is not very exciting. Compared to other FPs of herons we have (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in their environments too, the action of this one is rather soporific. We have to find the picture aesthetic for some reasons to promote it, and here the composition is not convincing at all. The animal seems crushed in the framing, and this crop aims to grant a big importance to these broken branches, actually more bothering than captivating by their aspect -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:25, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Basile Morin I would appreciate that you limit your editing to your opinions and format and refrain from making changes to my edits or format. My above comment was a general comment and not a commentary on your post. If you want to make an edit as a comment to mine you are free to do so. I have reverted your vandalism. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:23, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
No problem, it was interpreted as a commentary on my post because 1) starting by the interjection "Well", like to say "OK, some truth here, but not completely agree", and 2) opposing in its content to other animals (meerkat and orca) recently nominated. My edit is consultable and totally respects the text above. No word nor any single letter was altered in this paragraph. Thus I find the accusation really extreme and not relevant at all. Because without indentation the comment sounds like "I want to contest this review, but I don't want" 
. Also recently there was another indentation problem I had to fix too because the alignment was wrong. No worry, let's keep the ponctuation as it is now, and just focus on the composition -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:30, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Oh boy! you really have an imagination! And you did edit the format, which is vandalism. But yes, let´s keep it photographic. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 04:53, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Probably we don't understand each other. I've heard enough of "boy", "my dear child" and other patronizing names -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:02, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
