•  Comment - Nice, but head could be sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Ikan. Support now Daniel Case (talk) 02:24, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

  A tough review, I believe. This is wild life, very high resolution, 600 m lens required, taken from a moving boat,... I've uploaded a new version with some extra sharpening. FYI Ikan Kekek, Daniel Case --Poco² 18:20, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

  I think this might be a tiny bit unfair in that the image is being penalised for being high resolution. If you downsize to about 3000px across - still well above the size limit for FPC, and above the size of some fairly recently-promoted images - the head looks sharp. It isn't even that bad at full size. 131.111.184.8 20:40, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

No-one is saying it's bad. The fact is, the great wildlife photos nominated here by various people including Charles and Martin Falbisoner have brought with them a very high standard. I can well imagine Charles pointing out that the focus is not on the head but on the back. Also, I am judging the photo at 300% of my 13-inch laptop, not at full size, so while it would be unfair to penalize the image for being high-resolution, I am not doing that. I also haven't voted against a feature. I like the photo, but the rest of my remark stands, as I still think the head could be sharper - maybe not in this shot, but in another one which would be an obvious FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

•  Support Focus and sharpness look good to me, though the colours have been enhanced too much I think from the Chobe I know. Oh, and Diego, it's not looking for fish (in the sky!) Charles (talk) 15:37, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

•  Support sharpening artifacts but still nice. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 02:06, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
•  Support The dynamic background is another plus! Btw., I think I've never nominated any wildlife pic, Ikan. I'd love to though... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

• I thought you nominated birds in California. Sorry for the confusion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:46, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
