Info Photos from the new Sri Lankan issue of A Sharp Eye on wildlife photography. I was going to include this image of a successful hunt, but it was from a previous foray. All by Charlesjshapr -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: 1 and 2 are too similar, though I'd support either as a separate nomination; 3 is too blurred. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 21:00, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good sequence. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:03, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose lack of sharpness. --Ivar (talk) 06:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support A nice sequence, beautiful colours. Maybe a bit too much sharpening (in post), but I leave it to our wildlive photography experts to judge this. --Aristeas (talk) 10:51, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A set "Green bee-eater hunt" should show the complete hunt, not only the beginning. --Llez (talk) 11:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose nice sequence, but it's not really a "set" and despite the title it does not include the actual hunt. --El Grafo (talk) 12:36, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose lack of sharpness, and 1 and 2 too much similar. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 17:59, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In the fourth missing image, the bee-eater remembers he has a dentist appointment, and returns to the branch till 11:00. In the fifth missing image, the rear bee-eater ponders how birds, who famously have no teeth, could possibly have dental appointments. In the sixth image, the first bee-eater, concedes this is fair point and flies off to have some cross words with his dentist. This is not a set. -- Colin (talk) 22:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm relaxed if the community does not consider this a set El Grafo Llez Colin. I had thought that a set of individual images were preferred to composite images, but happy to stick to composites. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this one works even as a composite, but yes a strip-cartoon format may work for some works. The love-bird sequence was cute, but this one is just lacking the spark. As El Grafo notes, a hunt needs predator and prey. -- Colin (talk) 08:23, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
