•  Comment Have to admit I'm not sure about this one. I feel like the angle of the bird's head doesn't quite work for me with how it sort of blends into the body and isn't distinct. And I think it's a tiny bit oversharpened. But I won't oppose and ruin a 5-day promotion Cmao20 (talk) 15:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

  Any bird seen in flight from the front side will have the head that might look like it's "blended" into the body without beeing distinct, it is a completely natural phenomenom. I personally think that the fact that the bird is looking on his left side makes the head blend less since you can see it's beak sticking out. Giles Laurent (talk) 17:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

• Yeah I don't disagree, it's not an image quality defect, I would just prefer it if the pose were a little bit different. I'm probably being too picky,  Support Cmao20 (talk) 23:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

• I understand where you're coming from, birds' heads often look better in profile, but the background is what makes this shot special. Charlesjsharp (talk)
