Oppose Should be more cropped, but that would make image too small. Not really enough definition and an ordinary background. Charles (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- What you call an ordinary background is in fact a natural background. Pics of birds in cities or in zoos are for sure not that worthly. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:01, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Of course natural and much better than a zoo or city, but not FP, especially for a common bird species. Blurred foreground is also a problem. Charles (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not really sure if you every made animal shots in wildlife. This requires long focal length (here: 400 m). It's a optical rule that you have blured fore- and background when you shoot with 400 m. The main objekt is totally sharp. Don't understand the necessarity that the pebbles or the sea has to be sharp. On the contrary: with the blured fore- and background the main object is more in focus than it would be if everythink would be sharp. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:48, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- I have in fact shot a few 'animal shots in wildlife' and posted some on Commons; but of course your photography lesson is quite an eye-opener! Charles (talk) 09:13, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Haha! Wladyslaw, Charles is one of the most active wildlife photographers we have on Commons. He may be blunt and sarcastic, but he certainly knows a lot about wildlife photography. --Cart (talk) 10:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- His comment was nevertheless not his magic moment. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry Wladyslaw. I'm sure you meant well. Charles (talk) 11:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per Charles. Not exceptional. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Nice photo, but not an FP in my book. I don't mind that there's a bit of background, but I don't think the image qualifies as "one of the finest on Commons".--Peulle (talk) 14:19, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Oppose per Charles; the unsharp areas are a little distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 14:41, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Neutral I love this picture and the well use of DoF, however, like others FPC is now more competitive that a time ago and we have with us a specialized birds photographers who have taken amazing pictures of bird with super detailed size, and of course, you don't need a expensive lens, everything is relative and remember that it's just my opinion. Thanks for this picture --Photographer 23:38, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
