Oppose Interesting, but it doesn't quite work for me since it's not centered; the bird is photographed slightly from an angle.--Peulle (talk) 08:16, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support Cart (below) convinced me --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support Lovely and interesting lively image of owl eyes. I don't understand the everything-must-be-front-and-center thing this forum has. This view from a slight angle gives us a more pensive "hmm, who are you and what are you doing" look from the owl as opposed to the startled "deer in headlights" centered front view. From an encyclopedic point of view, it also gives a better "3D" look at the feathers (not sure owls have eyelashes) around the eye area. When looking at a human, this or this is often preferred over this, for me it's the same with animals. --Cart (talk) 10:44, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support +1 to that. --El Grafo (talk) 13:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support - I suppose the feathers could be sharper, but it's a very striking picture. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:20, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose Agree with Peulle. And while I also agree with Cart, her examples don't convince me at all. For a start, this is a close up, focused on the eye, and it just annoys me that one eye is smaller than the other here. When I look at a living thing in the eye this intensely, I'd rather do it in front of it. - Benh (talk) 21:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose I suppose I just find owl eyes to always be mesmerizing, so would need something more special to support just a close-up of the eyes. For me the level of detail and light isn't working sufficient to justify supporting the tight framing. — Rhododendrites talk | 13:38, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 15:57, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support per Cart --GRDN711 (talk) 17:35, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per Rhododendrites. -- B2Belgium (talk) 20:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition --Wilfredor (talk) 00:05, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Reminds me a bit to this FP but I am not convinced by the sharpness/DoF and POV, either Poco2 17:19, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

- Support: Interesting shot. The focus is imho just a negligible issue; it's difficult to expect deeper DoF for a closeup shot with such an active bird. As long as the eyes are sharp, it's fine for me. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 09:29, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support per Cart. Looks like the graphics used with some fantasy franchise ... I suppose given the subject I'm probably thinking Harry Potter, but I seem to be being tugged by Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire (in which case it would be wolf's eyes).
