- Comment EV seems limited with this angle. IMO more beautiful than encyclopedic --Muhammad(talk) 19:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

VeryWeakOpposeSupport. I really like this image, but per Muhammad the EV is limited by the camera angle. I keep coming back to it, but just find I can't support due to that. Would surely be a shoe-in on Commons (where I note it's already featured). --jjron (talk) 08:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC) On further reflection I figure that we have portrait style FPs of other animals, which for the most part is what this is achieving - yes full body is usually preferred especially for smaller animals, and while we see most of the full body here it's essentially a portrait. Quibbles here, quibbles there over that this and that, so I'll go for a weak support instead. --jjron (talk) 07:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was a shoe-in there. I can accept that the EV would be considered limited, but I'm glad you find it otherwise irresistable, too, :-) Maedin\talk 09:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- On further reflection changed my vote (see above). --jjron (talk) 07:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Support We already have a side view of the species in the article (taken by me actually!) so not seeing the side of the bird is not a problem, we've got it covered. This image instead shows what the bird looks like while swimming, so what does it matter that it is taken at the angle it is? We have one from the front and one from the side and both show different things and the one from the front is the technically superior one, and speaking as a bird editor I think the encyclopaedic value of this image is just fine.

- Weak Support Before I opened this, I was sure it was an oppose since the angle limits the EV. But it's a spectacular shot! The detail on its head surely makes up for the missing body. I think that adds up to a weak support. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
