Oppose Basic mistakes with this one - not getting on the bird's level to achieve some background separation, flat midday light and possibly some processed out heat haze. Plus there is an existing more detailed FP of this species without those issues. JJ Harrison (talk) 21:11, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technical criticism is fine, but no need to be rude. Your existing FP is a nice enough photo, but does not show the legs so is not as encyclopaedic. This nominated image was voted as most valuable at Commons VI. For a bird in water, I prefer this image Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:41, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Existing FP has better composition and it relates better to the lead paragraph of the article: pink feathers, wetlands, hunting. Bammesk (talk) 14:01, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
