Oppose Charles, this has the same problem that you noticed on the "Skyscrapers in La Défense" nomination: not the same PoV (the lighting of the water is quite different too, despite the 25s difference). As separate nominations, the first could be compared with File:Little egret at Tennōji Park in Osaka, March 2016.jpg. It suffers from the relatively high PoV rather than being down at bird level, and the feathers are messy vs spectacular in the fine specimen of the other photo. The second can be compared with File:Little egret at Sundarbans East Wildlife Sanctuary.jpg, which unfortunately is under 4MP but is a far far better image. In that image, the PoV is down at bird level, the background nicely blurred, and the water droplets catch the eye. This photo here lacks those attributes, along with the untidy plumage issues. -- Colin (talk) 17:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Colin, and we now have a very high standard for bird pics, which neither of these quite makes. Daniel Case (talk) 06:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
