- Info A common ringed plover (Charadrius hiaticula) in winter plumage, c/u/n by Alexis Lours -- Alexis Lours (talk) 14:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support Nice to get the twig and the pebble so that the bird is contextualised in its environment. And incredible resolution. I'd be inclined to crop out some of the blurry foreground. I know it's unavoidable with these lenses and pretty much standard for some types of bird photography but there's a little too much here for me. Cmao20 (talk) 15:09, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Made it a tighter crop to remove some of the foreground. -- Alexis Lours (talk) 16:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I won't vote against as I'm not neutral, but this seems much less sharp than the existing FP; the feet are obscured and there are distracting items in the image. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, its is not as sharp (granted, I do still think it is a sharp picture) due to not being run through AI sharpening software that leave obvious sharpening artefacts, especially on edges and feathers, as can be seen around the tail and near the legs of the photo you linked, but I could still run the image through a Topaz software or similar if that's the preferred look nowadays. As for the foreground, I feel like it gives a good idea of where the bird was foraging but I'll also let the other members decide on that. -- Alexis Lours (talk) 19:16, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
