Original – A greater crested tern in flight

Reason: Featured on Commons in October last year. Not technically optimal, but the wow factor, EV and difficulty make up for it.

Comment Pretty picture but not so encyclopaedic with the bird landing. Doesn't add much to the article. I was the sole oppose voter (on technical grounds) at Commons FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:13, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support – The first sentence on top of WP:FPC page says: "Featured pictures are images that add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article." The sentence is written as an "either/or", so I figure exceptional wow factor can make up for deficiencies (weak EV, technical issues, etc.). This has exceptional wow factor IMO. ~~I might support, but am currently hesitant because~~ we have two FPs of this bird [1] [2]. Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC) . . . . I support delisting one of the older FPs. Bammesk (talk) 04:42, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak~~ support Stunning until you zoom in, at which point weaknesses show. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 11:25, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Just don't feel comfortable with my half-heartened being the cause of this not being promoted. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 12:13, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Would look enticing on the front page, leading viewers to the article. --Janke | Talk 17:29, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
