Thank you for your comment, Wadester16. Does edit 1 looks any better to you?--Mbz1 (talk) 21:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The picture seems oversharpened and harsh. Colours dont look fantastic. Both which I would put down to the camera. Seddσn ^talk 04:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cute ducks though. Seddσn ^talk 04:52, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose - I think it has not much encyclopedic value. - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{__ΞΞΞ_} . -- 22:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Good illustration but placement in the article and crop prevents full support. --Muhammad(talk) 19:09, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not much EV here. The article is already over-saturated with pictures. I don't think this one adds much. Composition and lighting are not very exciting either. Kaldari (talk) 20:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, lighting, composition and so on, it is a matter of taste, but I am not sure I understand complains about EV. I do not think we have a FP image of Canada goslings, so why this image's EV is any different than EV of any other image of an insect, animal, or a bird? As for the article, there are three very similar images of adult birds, two of which could be safely removed IMO. The nominated image's caption clearly shows both EV of the image and why this image adds the value to the article (IMO), not to mention that the nominated images shows the best details on adult birds feather (IMO). Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 22:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per above. I'd probably have been on my belly for this one. I think a detailed image of a chick would add more. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad you realized that I was on my belly for this one. :)--Mbz1 (talk) 02:37, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
