Request

Hi. I wonder if it is possible for you to upload a full version of File:2024 eclipse - bird transits during totality at Lake Kincaid, IL.jpg, because capturing a total solar eclipse with a bird transit is really a wonderful scene, and I'm thinking of nominating it for COM:QIC (or other kinds of image quality nomination).

Thanks, I'm honored! I'll upload the uncropped version tomorrow and let you know here. (Is it a bird transit or a bird photobombing the eclipse?) Dcs002 (talk) 07:46, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Bird transits during totality of the April 8, 2024 eclipse at Kincaid Lake in the Shawnee National Forest, IL.

Ok, the full image is posted. You can see why I cropped it. The eclipse was moving left to right in the camera's field of view due to the earth's rotation, and I had tried to aim the camera so the eclipse would be in the center of the frame at the end of the eclipse. That's why everything is to the left in the image. Dcs002 (talk) 23:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
