•  Info Solitary sandpiper relaxing by the water in a warm afternoon. Taken somewhere in the swamps of Yukon. Captured, uploaded and nominated by me, Jakub Fryš (talk) 16:15, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support A lovely capture, nice and sharp, and with relatively little noise. Some might complain that the bird is too small in the frame, but I think it can be seen as an image of the bird in its natural habitat and so the background is valuable to have. Cmao20 (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

• Cmao20: Thanks. This is the original size, uncropped. I have one more cropped so the bird is like 40 % of the frame but I decided to use this one on Wiki precisely because of the habitat/environment around and keep the informative value. Otherwise, I like the crop better, esthetically. -- Jakub Fryš (talk) 22:19, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Great capture of a bird in its natural environment. The sandpiper is quite small but the resolution and the quality are very good. I'd probably prefer to crop a bit from the bottom and even more from the top to place the bird in the middle - but it's good as it is anyway :) --Podzemnik (talk) 20:03, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

• Podzemnik: Thanks, as per above. Btw you can check the crop version on my profile at F***** to compare (don't wanna publish the link for the service here). -- Jakub Fryš (talk) 22:19, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support The vertical composition helps emphasize the shallow depth of field and the various features of the habitat. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:38, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment Too much background for a small bird. I would have cropped the image more tight to the bird in a landscape aspect ratio and with the eye right in the vertical center of the image. --Granada (talk) 08:45, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

•  Support --Boothsift 03:56, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Just too busy to work for me as an FP even if it were cropped. Daniel Case (talk) 01:02, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Granada.--Vulphere 08:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Probably a valuable image per Cmao20's point, but it would inspire me more if the bird were sharper, and I believe I recall sharper FPs of sandpipers. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:25, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
