• ...I find there is a serious lack of good architecture photography... but that's a completely different fish... :) --ELEKHH^T 22:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

• But architecture is much, much easier to take than birds: doesn't fly away! --Cephas (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
• If you mind some other opinion... How about simply some other wildlife animals ? It seems to me you could share us some pretty good stuffs - Benh (talk) 22:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

• I'm working on this already, but apart squirrels, mammals are elusive and don't cross our way too often. --Cephas (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

• If it is anything like here, it might pay to go out at night with a spotlight to find them. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment Since we're playing puppeteer... Personally I want you to keep providing us with awesome bird photos. In fact, I've put your lens on my wish list and am hoping I can oneday do a similar job in Australia (as JJH is already doing). --99of9 (talk) 12:46, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment -- Could you please denoise the background? That is an easy thing to do nowadays. Alvesgaspar (talk) 01:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Can you denoise the background without affecting the sharpness of the bird? (I will finally learn to decrease ISO when enough light is present!) --Cephas (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
    • I carefully selected only the background and denoised it. I uploaded over the top, but feel free to revert if you don't like it. Maedin\^talk 00:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
•  Support IMO A little bit too much lead room, but good. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 02:42, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
•  Question I put a note for a possible crop (strangely not showing here but only on picture page). Any support for it? --Cephas (talk) 11:26, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

•  Comment In agreement with the comment of IdLoveOne, I finally cropped the picture a bit. --Cephas (talk) 15:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Well, to get the annotation here try this. Edit the page as usual, press view (at the top of the page), press an "Add a note" button that appears under the image and then annotate it.--Snaevar (talk) 12:59, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
