Info This is the first FP candidate in /Birds/Otidiformes/Otididae. Created, uploaded, nominated by Axel Tschentscher 06:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Unique V-shaped feather pattern, gray-blue head feathers and yellow eye ring -- Axel Tschentscher ^(talk) 06:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose But the bird facing away with head in shade. Tight crop at bottom. Not as good as this one Charles (talk) 07:23, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question Certainly the better mug shot, but no pattern view and head crest view possible with ruffled feathers from the side perspective. Tight crop bottom to avoid dominant gravel shadow and left to allow facing into two-thirds. Also: how about sharpening artefacts around feather contours? --Axel Tschentscher ^(talk) 09:32, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like the way this pose shows off the plumage, and the relationship with the background. The patterns remind me of butterfly/moth wings. -- Colin (talk) 10:51, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good compo, well balanced. I like the way the sharp arrow-shaped pattern on an arrow-shaped body up to the pointy beak, contrasts the blurry round pebbles. --Cart (talk) 12:13, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This image has many good qualities, but I agree with Charles about the composition, and the image quality is not perfect with a little less detail on the feathers than I might have liked. The image Charles links to is OK, but you're right about the sharpening artefacts. Overall neither quite rises to the standard of FP for me, sorry. I think you have plenty of better pics.

Oppose The composition doesn't work for me with this distracting shadow at the bottom right corner and the tight crop at left & bottom. Also per Charles, animal seen from behind, not the most captivating show -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:35, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Per Basile--Booth sift 05:38, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Cmao20. --Fischer.H (talk) 09:00, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Charles; also I find the background distracting. Daniel Case (talk) 16:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
