Support Great picture of the bird, and it's a bonus that the branch echos its shape. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good focus and high level of detail -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support In focus and good composition. --XRay 💬 05:40, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great combination with the branch stump, and with air to breathe in the upper half; appropriate sharpening. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question Charles, having you a lot of experience, I would like to ask you a question. According to the bird's posture, do you think it has a broken leg? --Terragio67 (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No; it is a fledgling, which is why I was so close. It is just out of the nest and will gain full strength very soon. I was taken to it by a local kid and I suspect he might have lifted it onto the branch, but he said he hadn't! Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:16, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
* Support, and thanks for the explanation. Obviously, I was just and only curious about the strange posture... Terragio67 (talk) 20:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Charles, I think your latest nominations leverage AI tools much better, but this one is still overcooked: masking halos on edges (e.g., rump and back), rough in-focus to out-of-focus transitions (e.g., tail), aliasing on fine details (e.g., belly). --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the detailed review. New version uploaded @Julesvernex2: Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reprocessing it, Charles. I think there's less aliasing and smoother transitions, but the halo on the back is still there (looks like the sharpening mask is excluding the edge?). This new version is also darker and less saturated, not sure that was intended? My Topaz trial is over, but happy to have a go with DXO or Adobe in case the masking proves difficult to fix. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 13:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
