•  Oppose The subject is too small, and overall the image is too noisy. --Uoaei1 (talk) 20:00, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment Ok, got it... but look at the whole picture, it is not a picture of a bird, it is a picture of a setting, a mangrove and a bird. Mangroves are interesting places to visit due to the biodiversity, and there are not many pictures of mangroves taken from the inside, generally they are photographed from the outside, as a buch of plants. Light conditions vary greatly, so dynamic range is sometimes a problem. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 20:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Support a nice view of the ardea alba bird in his habitat. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 10:02, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
• Weak  Support --Σπάρτακος (talk) 12:10, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
• Weak  Support Some parts probably are too dark and too poorly visible, though it has some really outstanding parts. Minimum fulfilled for me. -- Pofka (talk) 18:06, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
• Pofka, the dynamic range in very large in this picture but the dark areas are not blocked, nor the highlights. Look at it in Lightroom or photoshop, in the histogram and you will see that. The inside of mangroves have varied qualities of light and the challenge is to get everything, or as much as possible, inside that range. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 18:24, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but for me it's just too dark. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:53, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Neutral I like the photo, but it is too dark and blurred in parts. --Tremonist (talk) 12:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Tremonist maybe you soud check your monitor. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:22, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Tremonist yes, the reflections on the water surface are very blurred ;-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

•  strong support White bird very well contrasts to the background. Darkness captures unique beauty of mangrove forest, D kuba (talk) 09:24, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Support interesting, nice, unusual place with hard light condition, even more hard with an animal for subject -- Christian Ferrer 11:43, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
•  Support as per Christian above. Yann (talk) 13:03, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
