Trinidad and Tobago hummingbirds composite.jpg

  •  Info I prepared this composite for English Wikipedia and it is FP there. There is the issue of whether one should use vernacular names or scientific, but I chose the common names that everyone uses. Naturally, there are more than four hummingbirds on Trinidad and Tobago, but these show the variety of colours well. All four images are QI.

  •  Comment maybe a set nomination would be better for commons --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I think the complaint at the Wikipedia FP holds: that we don't strictly need such a construct because one can layout using wiki templates. Embedded English-language captions is of limited use on an international project like Commons, so reduces its value at Commons FP. We have set nominations. Which leaves one to consider whether this arrangement of four makes an appealing work of art as a poster, say. I think the names reduces its artistic value, and captions are usually below the subject. I can only find three of these birds photos on Commons and only two QI. One of the birds has been flipped -- you could have arranged them facing each other. The two lower birds have blown whites. The backgrounds and poses aren't quite similar enough to work imo, and you note that this is not a complete list of "Trinidad and Tobago hummingbirds" -- such a complete set would make for a very much more valuable poster and required for a set nomination. For disclosure: I have one such poster at FP: File:Paisley Abbey New Gargoyles.jpg and a triptych FP: File:Epilobium hirsutum - Seed head - Triptych.jpg. -- Colin (talk) 11:53, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Martin Falbisoner and Colin; perhaps a set nomination would be better.--Peulle (talk) 13:59, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The rules for set nominations would not permit the arbitrary selection of just four hummingbirds. -- Colin (talk) 14:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so he has to create a bigger set? Should be doable. Btw. @Charlesjsharp: I think these images individually look very much like VI candidates, they're just the kind of images books use to illustrate bird species.--Peulle (talk) 23:12, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination I wanted to check FP voters opinions on this type of composite. Charles (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
