Weak oppose – Background looks unnatural. My guess is that the background is overprocessed, but regardless of whether it is or isn't, flat backgrounds look unnatural on live animal photos captured in the wild (with the exception of night photos having a dark background). Image has EV, hence weak oppose. On a sidenote, we have a FP of this bird: here which should be delisted if this nom passes. Bammesk (talk) 20:28, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
