Info Juvenile kākāpō on Anchor Island in Dusky Sound, New Zealand. The kakapo is critically endangered; the total known adult population is 213 living individuals, all of which are named. Most kakapo are kept on two predator-free islands, Codfish / Whenua Hou and Anchor, where they are closely monitored.

Oppose The composition does not work for me at all, the crop is too tight. Very noisy. --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)- Oppose The composition, kakalo head should be seen in whole. -- Karelj (talk) 09:55, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Uoaei1 Poco a poco (talk) 20:20, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose the head should be pictured as a whole. --Fischer.H (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think that the photo is good enough for FP even though it's such a rare species. --Podzemnik (talk) 20:31, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Support The focal point enhances the bird's expression, and gives a feel of texture to the feathers, and detail to the eye, beak and nares. These are features we don't normally see with such close-up detail, especially for rare and endangered species. Good job!! Atsme Talk 📧 17:49, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Compositionally, has the feel of the best of a set where it was a basically a contest between the photographer and the bird as to whether the bird could get out of the frame before the shutter was pressed, and this is the one where the photographer won by using a slightly off angle. Technically, it's got a very small DoF and a lot more noise than other FPS like this have had. Daniel Case (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose as much as I'd love to support an image of a kakapo, like others above, the composition just doesn't work for me — Rhododendrites talk | 06:19, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
