Review (criteria)	Comment, ambitious scope, good. But together with this or that, what's the best? –Be..anyone (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2015 (UTC) Both images are focus problems (too small DOF). --Jacek Halicki (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2015 (UTC)  Support, at modem speed I can't do a FPC review, and this is VIC. –Be..anyone (talk) 21:54, 26 January 2015 (UTC)  Oppose Sorry, but I think while it is technically slightly inferior, this currently featured image is better in some aspects: a) composition/crop b) characteristic curled tailfeathers are visible c) bird is actively swimming forward instead of just drifting around. I guess that should be handled through a Most Valued Review? --El Grafo (talk) 15:51, 28 January 2015 (UTC) @El Grafo The photograph which you propose is worse sharpness, lower resolution than the back of the head is underexposed. --Jacek Halicki (talk) 20:27, 30 January 2015 (UTC)  Best in Scope --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.
