Weak oppose A QI definitely but I'm just not excited enough to see it as an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 18:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support I am excited enough. ;-) -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 08:25, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose First of all, obviously this is not an FP level photo, sharpness and datails are far from FP standards, too small image size for this subject (big bird) and unattractive composition and background (in shade) . Sorry for the harsh comment. --Laitche (talk) 21:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The resolution is a little low (4,4MP) due to cropping but more than double the size (2MP) of the FP rules. I don't agree with you comments about sharpness (it's sharp enough) and composition. Remember that it's usually much harder (you must stay in a vehicle due to dangerous animals etc) to use tripods when photographing animals in a natural park. The only people using tripods in the rainforest are the paid photographers for magazines and TV. There is a reason it's mostly landscapes, zoo animals, macro and architecture images nominated as FP and seldom wild animals. --P.Lindgren (talk) 11:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - These shots ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) were taken without tripods , I don't like zoo shot so they were staying same position while a few seconds or less than one second and composition is very subjective matter so do not mind, it's just my opinion I think others have different opinions, Regards :) --Laitche (talk) 12:21, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
