Short description

Opposing has nothing to do you as a photographer and I have never had a problem with you. I am sorry if you feel like I oppose all your images. IMO this picture just has too harsh lighting to be a FP. --Digon3 talk 20:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • I really ment what I said. I like better, when my images are opposed than, when nobody opposes and/or supports them because then it is getting really boring. So there's nothing to be sorry about.--Mbz1 22:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
Ah, ok. --Digon3 talk 01:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I dont find the lighting overly distracting. Its a beautiful bird and the background is interesting. Wildlife shots are difficult, you can't ask the subject to move into better light. Where was this taken btw? I'm curious what kind of heron it is.... -(psylexic)
    • The picture was taken in San Francisco ZOO. The bird was not in a cage and I saw him flying across that wide pond. I believed he was a wild bird. Yet I've never seen such a bird in San Francisco, but I did see something like this in Bali, Indonesia. I went to look for him on the NET and now I believe he is a Pond-Heron and he is not wild because looks like they do not live in SF. I believe his wings were cut just enough to make him able to fly only a short distanse.--Mbz1 18:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
      • thanks, I was wondering about the goldfish - now I understand. -psylexic
  •  Oppose Sorry. The lighting is too harsh, the background distracting, and for FP status the bird needs to be properly identified to the species level. --MichaelMaggs 13:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The lighning is 2 harsh for my taste, partialy overexposed, sorry. Regards --Makro Freak talk 14:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Unfavourable lighting --Bergwolf 19:56, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Boring arrangement --Wiki mouse 17:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Uncomfortable lighting and exposure. Not good enough for a FP, but still a nice picture. -- Ram-Man 11:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I cannot agree with "Boring arrangement". Usually I do not take boring pictures--Mbz1 23:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Mbz1[reply]
