Oppose Insufficient quality -- the feathers look like upscaled, there are visible artefacts. --A.Savin 00:41, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment @A.Savin: : "upscaled"? Are you certain the plumage looks so different from this FP? --Axel (talk) 01:09, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. --A.Savin 02:48, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- I wouldn’t say upscaled, it rather looks oversharpened to me – doubled contours and contrast-enhanced edges. And the background has obviously been blurred in postprocessing, the cutout line being perfectly visible on the bird’s outline, especially the head. Quality drawbacks which are hardly excused on an FPC. --Kreuzschnabel 08:49, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per A.Savin. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:38, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Weak oppose per others, which is really a pity, for lighting and composition are excellent. --Kreuzschnabel 08:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)- Oppose per others.--Peulle (talk) 12:11, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination --Axel (talk) 12:25, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
