•  Strong oppose Rule-of-thirds not followed, distracting brown-greenish area in lower left corner of the background. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 16:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

  The brown-greenish area most likely a building. I dont really agree with that image does not comply to rule-of-third, note how the bird's head and upper body is positioned. However, to compose an image is not just about formulas imo (you have to apply the rules with respect to the object, and sometimes dare to break them just as long you know why you do it).

  I think AK is talking about Lead room which is not practical in this case (without doubling the width). The background can be cleaned if necessary. Jee 03:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• weak Support The shooting angle is not the best with the cut off feed, but this nice pose is compensation enough. ;-) --mathias K 04:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment Agree with El Grafo, is there a way to smooth or even clone that the big brownish surface on the left? Poco² 20:52, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

  Thank you for your comments. I have no objection about removing it (I dont have the technical knowledge to perform the removal, but I guess many others here have). The only problemmet is that many have already voted?--ArildV (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
