Support Personally I think your photo of the white morph is sufficiently good quality to be added to the set, it doesn't bother me that the position is not perfectly mirrored. Cmao20 (talk) 15:50, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I thought I was going to support, but (AI powered?) sharpening seems to have messed the fine feather details - Benh (talk) 20:31, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose not a set according to set rules: A group of images which show all possible variations of a particular class of object --Ivar (talk) 05:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You do have a point, but the subject is coloured morphs and there are only two accepted variations. I could have added white morph as suggested, but no one else agreed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:43, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment not a set. Charles I don't understand your point about morphs. The Western reef heron article says there are only two accepted variations as you say, but those are dark and white, not dark and slate grey. It seems perhaps the slate grey is some hybrid or natural variant of dark. Even if we accepted three variants, you'd have to include a white morph photographed in the same way as these two in order to make a proper set. If you don't have a similarly posed white bird to add to this set, then I think you have to withdraw and nominate separately. -- Colin (talk) 16:20, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I could easily have included white morph, but it's a bit late now. The experts can't even agree if Egretta gularis is a separate species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
