•  Info Female hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) tucks bill into back feathers to rest. It's a little on the small side, but sharp, cute, with bright eye and great hair. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Support The resolution is quite low, but in my opinion the magnificently captured subject is worthy of a promotion (according to the principle of wow effect over technical quality). -- Radomianin (talk) 23:02, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

•  weak opppose The FP for bird shots is high, I find the posture awkward and the level of detail rather low Poco a poco (talk) 10:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment Agree with Poco, but its made on 600 mm, probably bird would not be resting near the shore. You need that 400mm.--Mile (talk) 13:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Agreed. If someone has a spare Olympus 150-400m lens hanging around, please send it here. :) I'm guessing the WMF doesn't provide $7500 grants so one person can take better photos, either. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:05, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
