Comment Sorry you didn't get feedback on the last one. Once in a while we'll see a photo that isn't quite up to anyone's standards for Featured Picture, but also isn't particularly bad enough to oppose. An all-black subject is very difficult to photograph, and while you've done a pretty good job here, the level of detail just isn't up to what people expect for birds at FPC. From looking at the ground, it looks like the focus might be just slightly past the bird. A smaller focus window and faster shutter might help. Some people might find the background a little off-putting, too (there's a lot of personal preference involved here). So in short I think you have a good photo that could be helpful to illustrate a common raven, but it's probably not going to work for Featured Picture. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 13:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don't see an outstanding photo - quality, composition, and light are all good but not FP good to me. The left tight crop makes the photo look unbalanced. --Podzemnik (talk) 02:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
