•  Oppose Sorry for killing the mood, but having seen my fair share of kingfishers in the wild there is significantly too much saturation in the picture. This orange cannot be explained with perfect light conditions. Otherwise a great shot, with perfect posture and beautiful detail :-( C-M (talk) 18:15, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@C-M: The species is orange though, just adding that--Boothsift 18:28, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@Boothsift: Yes they are, over the years I have probably seen around 50 in the wild. If you have a look around you will find many excellent natural pictures here which are not that orange and more brownish. Feel free to compare with drawn field guides as these tend to have a fairly realistic color rendition, I have the Collins bird guide here on my desk as an additional reference («... underparts and cheek patch warm orangey brownish-red ...»). C-M (talk) 18:54, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I uploaded a more realistic version with the saturation reduced by 30% - not sure whether I did the licensing correctly, I had to remove the flickr reviewer part of the description for the upload to pass, so feel free to fix potential problems there. C-M (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@C-M: You can upload a new version of the original file instead. As the bot is glitchy, I have removed the picture. --Boothsift 04:57, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

I intentionally did not want to change the original as that would interfere with the candidacy. We could nominate the desaturated version as an alternate, but we should in that case probably notify everyone who left already a vote. C-M (talk) 18:43, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
