Info A Canada Goose sitting on the grass and wildflowers, in Downsview Park, Toronto. All by -- Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 02:14, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Fairly decent sharpness on the goose's head and neck, but mostly a blur and nothing is that sharp. Somewhat distracting background, too, as is that active a blur in the foreground. Not outstanding to me, especially considering how common these birds are. Sorry, I hope this doesn't come across as harsh toward you; it's just my reaction to this particular photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:40, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: It's fine, everyone's perspective is different. My main idea of the picture is not the bird but to guide everyone to the middle through the bokeh. Even though, the bird is common but I haven't seen much photos with such surrounding environment of flowers. --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 20:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Fabian Roudra Baroi: Sorry, but it doesn't work for me either. I get what you try and I think you might have my support, if the background was all flowers and grass, or at least if there were still flowers and grass well above the goose's head - but the way it is my view shifts too quickly from the goose to the clutter above. --Kritzolina (talk) 06:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice duck but the cluttered background is ruining the scene in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:51, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Good quality but not FP material IMO, maybe QI. 20 upper 11:21, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose It could be better if the flowers aren't blurred, at least in my opinion. - ABAL1412 🇻🇳🇷🇺 (talk) 17:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for all the opinions, I'll keep these in mind next time. I withdraw my nomination --Fabian Roudra Baroi (talk) 21:08, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
