Support. Decent composition, very large, sharp enough. J Milburn (talk) 12:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose The upper parts of the legs seem very fuzzy, as are parts of the feet (DOF problem I imagine), and feet are of extreme interest in this family. Also, I find the EV really hampered by the dull background. These are birds of bright sunny marshes, not dark zoos. Given how common these types of birds are and how approachable in the wild they are, and the open environment they live in it is not a huge ask for a photo of a wild bird with some contextualising habitat. To be clear, being in the wild is not essential for a FP, but the captive background should not be so jarring. Sabine's Sunbird talk 21:02, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The caption and image description say that this bird is in a zoo. The focus is on the leg nearest the camera, which is better than it being on the leg farthest from the camera. Snowman (talk) 15:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware of the first point, but it still detracts from the image. Even if that were not an issue the legs still are. Neither leg is in good focus, even if the closer one is better, and the feet are not well focused on either. Sabine's Sunbird talk 18:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It would be a very technically impressive picture if it had a solid focus on the feet, head and torso. J Milburn (talk) 09:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
