  • Comment Image size is probably the biggest obstacle here. It's certainly the best image in the article (at least for adults - I didn't really check the juvenile images); at the same time, I kind of have to evaluate it based on a very high standard you've set. At the same time again, though, an endangered species that spends a lot of time in the air or in high places is, at least theoretically, a difficult photo to get. Can you tell me about how you got this photo? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.5% of all FPs 15:29, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Coouldn't get too close, so had to do quite a crop to get the 'portrait' that I wanted. These days it takes seconds to enlarge using Gigapixel or another software solution, so number of pixels does not have to be a limitation. As a matter of interest, I think this is a difficult bird to get this well situated. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:49, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
