Info A flamingo rests its neck muscles by placing its head onto its back. It tucks the bill into its feathers and stands on one leg - both actions conserve heat. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:55, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Remarkable image. I'm guessing the things that look like possible dust or water spots on the upper left are not. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:32, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just stuff on the sand of the lagoon. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The idea is nice but the execution not. These aren't rare birds nor unusual behaviour and an image whose purpose was illustrating the behaviour would be closer (if you look at the Wikipedia article that uses this, the birds are tiny white blobs on a pink stalk and you can't really make out what is going on at all). Artistically/photographically, the bottom third where the water is rough ruins it, two of the birds are blurred, and they are all still just a little small in the frame. A simpler frame with bigger, fewer birds, blurred background and still water reflections would have worked better. There's just a bit too much rough sand and rough water and not enough flamingo. -- Colin (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ Nice idea but I wish all the flamingos were in focus. Cmao20 (talk) 22:43, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support having read again the justification for the nomination, shows the birds' behaviour quite well, and because the nomination is currently right on the pass/fail border and I think it deserves to pass. Cmao20 (talk) 19:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
