Oppose. Hard to really use the pic to see details of the bird, but not an "action shot" (showing a behavior) either. Something about the size of the bird and the lack of tight crop, along with small size in article. Full size, the pic is stunning, but just doesn't seem to work well in article (in contrast, the little brown bird works pretty decent as a description picture).TCO (reviews needed) 08:28, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (The same argument as Bush Stone-Curlew). I'd add that this is a big bird, and consequently the head and eyes are proportionately smaller in the frame creating some of the effect you describe caused by the small thumbnail size. JJ Harrison (talk) 10:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I know, I'm a bastard. But at least I am expressing a point of view about how images are used (even if it's wrong!) Count me as neutral to the crop, provided if it wins FP, that the crop goes in the infobox (actually you should do that regardless...it will just work better given the literal "box you are in" haha!) I see this as somewhat similar (not as extreme, agreed) to the situation Tony1 brought up about images that are stunning but are too detailed to work at the sizing on DYK hooks.TCO (reviews needed) 15:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The crop is too tight at the bottom at the location of the feet. --Elekhh (talk) 21:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support original. I normally prefer a tighter crop but the original is fine. Excellent detail. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 17:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
