Oppose Grey Herons are relatively easy to spot and to take pictures of; so for an FP I'd expect more of the wow factor. Now while the quality is quite good, I don't like the light and the background that much, sorry. --A.Savin 01:49, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support A. Savin has a point, but the quality is really very good indeed. Cmao20 (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Like Cmao20, I find the quality and level of details very good. --Dinkum (talk) 12:38, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Crisp sharp. --Palauenc05 (talk) 13:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The photo might be good for illustration of the mimicry ability, but for the FP I would expect more contrasting background. I agree with A.Savin. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 15:45, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I looked at a few of the existing FPs of this species, and this photo is toward the better side of the ones that show the bird's entire body. I particularly like the sharpness of its legs and feet. I find the background fine, too. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:07, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Per the opposers above but still a nice shot Poco a poco (talk) 20:09, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Both pro and contra arguments are good, but looking again and again at it I really like it, espec. when viewing it at full size. --Aristeas (talk) 11:05, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Famberhorst (talk) 15:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Yes, very good quality. But per others due to the background, sorry. --Hockei (talk) 19:51, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose after looking at existing FP-s of Ardea cinerea, sorry. --Ivar (talk) 16:07, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think the background shows well why a heron has such colors - it nearly blends in with its environment. --Podzemnik (talk) 20:08, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
