- Reason
- I may be pushing my luck with yet another white bird image, but here goes. The good: high resolution, pose shows all of the bird-and it is not quite the "classic sideways orientation", background not overly distracting (imo). Possible downsides: It was cloudy, but this makes it possible to see highlights in the birds feathers. Too dark? I'll let you decide.

- Oppose sorry - maybe it's the lighting but the fine details of the picture aren't there... The feet seem blurred and the feathers are very soft and feature-less... Shame though, as it's a good pose EV-wise gazhiley.co.uk 08:54, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Support - this picture might stand a very little blurring of the background, to make the bird pop out more, and/or raising the exposure a bit. It's otherwise a fine, clear image. Tim Pierce (talk) 21:07, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose: Has there been editing/masking around the bird's head? It would appear so—curious as to what editing was needed. Oppose for that alone, but while I'm here: the composition is quite bland, with background too in focus, overexposure on the swan's back, and an odd lack of detail in the feathers on the head.

- Nope, no head editing. Thanks for the comments. Sasata (talk) 18:44, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmm, okay. Do you see what I'm referring to, though? Maedin\talk 18:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
