Neutral Tricky. It’s certainly not bad but there are some issues I dont approve of: 1. crop (too much space on top, too little on right); 2. perspective (seen from above makes the bird look smallish and a bit funny); 3. motion blur in plumage. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- You are quite right about the crop. I have nominated an alternative version below. Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Neutral The quality is impressive, getting sharp feathers at this resolution is really something. That being said, I also dislike the point of view from above. It's essentially a portrait, and taking it from significantly above eye level doesn't work in my opinion. The background is a little distracting (but not too much), the light is ok. For the crop, I would probably prefer it if the bird would be looking into the picture (i.e. more space on the right than on the left). — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 09:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Support impressive indeed, but per others for the crop : just a little more space at right, the not croppoed version is not enough cropped at left IMO. -- Christian Ferrer Talk 18:45, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment I’d still crop a bit off on the left and top to de-center the subject and make it look into the image. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 08:39, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Oppose too much empry space (especially at left). -- Christian Ferrer Talk 18:45, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
