Comment - This is properly a Valued Image, and also a Quality Image. If I had my druthers, I wouldn't feature this kind of photo, in which part of a bird is inordinately blurred, not for sound compositional reasons, but for technical reasons having to do with the tradeoffs one currently still may have to make when taking a closeup picture. Nor do I really like this kind of close-in bokeh, though it certainly could be worse. Most of the bird is quite sharp and beautiful, but that's not enough for me to support a feature. The only reason I'm not opposing is that if everyone else unanimously agrees the photo should be featured, I have no interest in slowing down its progress. Also, while I've said my piece here, I certainly don't oppose this photo as much as previous nominees in which a much larger percentage of the subject was inordinately blurred or the bokeh was vertiginous. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:53, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Ikan. The unsharpness is distracting, and the bird's coloration works well to protect it from predators but, alas, also makes it stand out less in its environment, and thus this photograph. Daniel Case (talk) 19:13, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
