Neutral-- Looks sooo good. The feathers are not so sharp though. Will check other featured birds. Grinatyou (talk) 21:45, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Sharp enough for me. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 22:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- Unfortunate framimg. Shouldn't be too difficult to add a little more space to the right. so that the poor thing's tail can breathe... Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:46, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done, although I think I will give it some more. Grinatyou (talk) 22:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that was fast! Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see that? It took me only 1 minute since you posted your comment (22:46) until I posted mine (22:47). Notice that it takes some time to read your comment and post mine. ;) Nah, I was at it before you said it. Grinatyou (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support I like most the previous version [1].. that the bird is not in the center of the frame and the image looks more balanced IMO. Ggia (talk) 23:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose creamy bokeh, but needs a rework on the levels. the original upload was a picture created with a Canon EOS 40D. the current version (and all older versions) were downsampled to "increase" the quality and remove the effects of ISO 500, which was used creating this picture. I would support an original resolution version with improved levels. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 23:19, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I swear to the Olympic gods I didn't downsampled it, JPG did. I did crop it to get rule of thirds with that eye. The levels is easy to correct but (I didn't understand your writing) do you oppose the creaminess of the background? I regret to say that can't do anything about that without doing "excessive digital manipulation". Grinatyou (talk) 00:21, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am even more intrigued in seeing your own images now after I saw you have the latest photoshop

This page is about this image. CS5 was released on April 2010. Grinatyou (talk) 01:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment creamy bokeh refers to a good bokeh, so for your Olympic gods' sake don't change it. and yes i see that you was not the one downsampling the image - perhaps i should be more precise here: the first version uploaded by Merops was downsampled (and perhaps as well cropped) from 3888 × 2592 to 1132 × 1814. all newer versions are based on this and therefore they are downsampled/cropped as well. hope you get my point here. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 07:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think I (intentionally) forgot your objections on the image because supports are coming alone. The correction on the levels will be done before the end. I am just waiting to see if the author brings the original to work on it or maybe he/she does the whole work. I don't like when some problem doesn't get solved because enough supports came to get featured. Grinatyou (talk) 20:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- nice, although resolution is really on the limit (particularly given that the subject is only 1/4 of the image), and high compression rate. Elekhh (talk) 02:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- The background is heavily posterized in this version, which it isn't in the original upload. The cloning on the right is imho also pretty obvious in various areas. Sting (talk) 21:31, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
