Weak support. It would be much better if the whole bird is shown, but the amount of detail and clarity is great enough for a weak support from me. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-10-19 15:49Z
Oppose The article about the Brown Falcon says that it is particularly known for its long legs and broad wingspan. The picture shows neither of these things, and it would have to in order to be of value to an article with so little other content. It's a nice shot, but for me it pretty clearly fails FPC5.

5. Adds value to an article and helps readers to understand an article. An image's encyclopedic value is given priority over its artistic value. Well it does add value to the article, and help readers to understand the article, being the only photo just makes it all the more valuable.

Comment It's a nice enough shot, suffering from an unusual crop. Not sure how much post processing you did, but the whiter feathers are a bit blown and I'd suggest a less-tight crop, centering more on the beak and eye and allowing more space to the right. Enc-wise, I'd say it would be more appropriate for the article at Beak than anywhere else. --mikaul^talk 17:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
