Neutral I am not audacious enough to vote with oppose because the quality / level of detail is very good compared to similiar shots. But the background is unfortunate. The color of the (rock?) matches the color of the bird's coat -OK- but it somehow cuts the birds and distracts from the main motive. The missing separation of the bird from the background is most notably in thumbnail view. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The background show the natural habitat, it's a educational value. It's quite blurred for separate, IMHO.--Citron (talk) 12:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had not denied that it is the natural habitat. But from a photographic viewpoint the background is unfortunate. If the brown area had filled the complete background or if the whole body of the bird had been over the rock it had been much better. The way it is now the rocks (or whatever it is) cut the wings of the bird. It is the same as you cut a (human) head by a horizon line - a no-go for portayal shots. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:01, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Could you please add the coordinates? Gyps fulvus can be found in different places in Spain. At least something approximate. --Kadellar (talk) 12:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Info On Gyps fulvus the uploader (Kookaburra 81 = Pierre Dalous) wrote it was (somewhere around?) Huesca. --Amga (talk) 07:59, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support @Tuxyso: natural habitats, and birds flying in front of rocks don't care about photographers & photographic viewpoints, btw... --Amga (talk) 07:59, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your comment is not helpful. I would appreciate if you stick to the very content of my argument or to the photo. For details see your talk page. --Tuxyso (talk) 08:52, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not at all a good background compared to File:Gyps fulvus 1 Luc Viatour.jpg ot File:Gyps fulvus 2 Luc Viatour.jpg. For explaining its natural habitat, we have pictures like this. I agree the current nomination too has its own merits (more detailed, legs visible, etc.) JKadavoor Jee 11:51, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks! At least one person who understood my point. If it is important or not is a matter of personal taste. From a compositional point File:Gyps fulvus 2 Luc Viatour.jpg is much better than the nomination here. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
