Neutral To me the colours are dull and lacking vibrance. Otherwise good catch. --PierreSelim (talk) 11:52, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I like this photo, but I keep thinking about how you have opposed photos in Consensual Review for lacking the tail, or part of it. This photo has part but not all of the tail. Talk to us about that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To me there's a big difference between a carelessly taken image that crops off the tail and one where part of the tail is hidden behind a branch. Check out the Commons FP galleries for dozens of examples. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:21, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's a pretty bird, and I don't mind the cutoff of the tail too much, though a photo of equivalent quality showing the whole tail would certainly be a better and more useful picture. When I look at your votes in CR, I will pay attention to whether you are objecting to the cutoff of the tail because of things blocking it or for other reasons. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:47, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Very nice capture as always, but I don't like the centering of the bird's eye. The position of the branch and the direction of the beak both serve to put more visual weight on the right side, so it looks unbalanced to me and needs a crop on the left. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Well done. The centering of the eye may be arguable, but I would not crop the photo at the left – it has some interesting balance which IMHO would be damaged by such a crop. --Aristeas (talk) 07:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The tail is missing. It is essential for a woodpecker. It provides support when chopping. Also, the overall composition of the photo is not successful for me.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:17, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You'll remember voting on this nomination. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:16, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Very good pose and specimen and I'm ok with missing tail, but imo the noise level is disturbing, sorry. -- Ivar (talk) 14:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done New version uploaded Ivar. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment not much better, I'm afraid. Maybe ISO 3200 was too much for R6m2 in these light conditions. -- Ivar (talk) 11:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Ivar. -- Karelj (talk) 13:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
