Moderate Support - Good pelican photo, without as much detail as this one, but more in focus and with more detail than some other currently Featured pelican pictures. Nice pose on in-focus wood (stump, whatever). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:12, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I would really like to see a more space around the bird. Now it looks like a caged animal. Image linked by Ikan Kekek is clearly superior to this in my opinion. Kruusamägi (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose not a fan of the crop. Storkk (talk) 14:21, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support I'd prefer a little wider crop, particularly vertically, but overall this is quite good. --Pine^✉ 02:14, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree for the tight crop. Unfortunately in the original picture, the bird is a bit low in the frame so I adjusted the crop consequently. I consider this photo as an "illustration type" of picture where the objective is simply to show a good representation of the specimen. I find funny these comments of tight crop since a couple years ago, when I was more active on this page, I regularly received the comment of a too wide crop for showing the bird in its environnement. I appreciate the actual shift of critics, though I think the illustration type of picture still have a place in WP pages together with other photographic approaches to get a good visual grasp of the subject. --Cephas (talk) 12:35, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The tight crop is quite useful for a thumbnail view in an article, but I think this kind of "illustration type" image is more suitable for VIC. Might be worth a try cloning in some more background to get a more pleasing composition. --El Grafo (talk) 11:22, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
