Info All by C messier -- C messier (talk) 12:40, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Goose (Anser cygnoides) in the old harbour of Rethymno. Its beak is not as pronounced as the "original" species and could be a hybrid with Anser anser or Anser fabalis (as the hydridation between these species is common and easy - yet in commons there are few photos of geese hybrids). Its presence in Crete may be because it escaped captivity or was freed, as it is native in Asia, but has been introduced to other locations.

Oppose Overall a nice image but nothing special, no wow. Looks a bit washed-out, say overbright. Too much space behind the bird, too little in front of it. Below FP threshold for birds IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 21:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Comment IMHO, the special is the bird it self (see description why). I can add some space to the right (although I have to clone out the back half of another goose). --C messier (talk) 22:19, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
- Comment The question here in FPC is "Is this one of the very finest images on Commons". It is not "Does this image show something special". Try Valued Images instead, your shot is likely to succeed there. --Kreuzschnabel 05:28, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
- Mild Oppose - I like the bird, but I have to agree with Kreuzschnabel in all respects. The standard for featured bird pictures is extremely high. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:10, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
