Oppose There are several FPs already of this bird, most in the wild, which seem much better images. Nothing very sharp on this one. Charles (talk) 17:57, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Maybe we have already pictures of a Grey Heron, but I never saw a Gray Heron in such a pose --Llez (talk) 19:32, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment several similar images in the category gallery. Charles (talk) 21:06, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment After your comment I searched and I found only one picture of bad quality. Please give me the link to the gallery with the several similar pictures you meant above --Llez (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment You said that 'I never saw a Gray Heron in such a pose'. I was just showing you it is not unusual. File:Ardea cinerea(Gollibolli)3.JPG is another one. Of course they are not great photos. 10:18, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

This link doesn't work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:46, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Link sorted. Charles (talk) 15:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support The background sort of works at (literally) cross-purposes, but the pose is interesting enough to sustain FP for me. Daniel Case (talk) 00:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like the pose too. Daphne Lantier 04:04, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I like the pose, but I have to agree with Charles. In particular, User:Laitche has several wonderful pictures of gray herons in the wild. Llez, could you possibly sharpen the bird's head a bit? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Thanks Ikan --Llez (talk) 13:49, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment - Thanks for the improvement, Llez. I'll live with the photo a little longer before committing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
