- Oppose - I'm sorry, but the unsharp branch and twigs in the lower left and center foreground really bother me and distract me from the bird. Because of them, this is not an FP to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:02, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose On image quality grounds. I don't know if this is relevant to your 7DII, but I tried using the Sigma 150-600 C on my old Canon 60D and found the image quality at 600mm to be much, much worse than on my full-frame 6D. -- Thennicke (talk) 11:30, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - I'm skeptical at times about the ethics of cloning out things that were there. But that said, if you're going this far, why don't you crop out the branch completely? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: Since I don't like the square format of birds photo. --Laitche (talk) 11:52, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- I know you're not the only photographer here who objects to certain shapes of picture frames per se, but I really don't really understand why. A square is just a shape. The important things are the content and how the elements relate to each other compositionally. But that said, if you crop just to the right of the branch, it won't be a square but will still be wider (l-r) than it is long/tall (top-bottom). In the current version, I will again Oppose because the branch distracts me from the bird, and I care about that, not the shape of the picture frame. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:06, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek: I nominated the alt2. If crop the left, I think square is better. --Laitche (talk) 12:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

- Support The sharpness and CA are much improved, and this isn't an overly busy composition like the other alternatives. Excellent! (though small now) -- Thennicke (talk) 13:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
