Comment Nice and perhaps FP to me. I'm thinking because the image can be cropped IMO (see note). What you think?--Miguel Bugallo 10:55, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand and agree. But my philosphy with the crop question is, within a possible range of crop (very subjective, I know), to always choose the largest one. This for two reasons : I like to see the subject breathing in its environment and, I like to leave the choice to the eventual user to crop the picture if he wants to, and the way he whiches (the licence gives the freedom for this). My pictures are often used inside and outside Wikimedia projects. For a strict illustration of the species, a tight crop is perfect, but pictures can be used in different ways and I like to foresee this. --Cephas (talk) 17:15, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - A well reasoned position but perhaps do the suggested crop then add this as an alternate version. Best of both worlds. Saffron Blaze (talk) 19:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question Did you use flash? –Makele-90 (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I don't have flash. It's the reflection of the sun on the snow and lighting the bird from below. I was standing slighty above the bird and the background is snow (not sky and clouds). --Cephas (talk) 00:27, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
