•  Oppose Good picture, but the head in the FG disturbs the composition and removes the WOW necessary for FP. Lycaon 12:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I have to agree with Lycaon --User:Quark 13:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Sweet and voyeuristic, the one in front looks envious --Digitaldreamer 13:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I like the picture, but I also agree with Lycaon Keta 14:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Agree. It's a shame the presence of the envious one in the foreground. Alvesgaspar 15:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Info Added a slight Edit --Makro Freak 15:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Did i ever told that i was a special effects supervisor for the entertainment industry in my old career ? I sweard after my retreat (because of a burnout syndrome) that i never ever will touch any postproduction tools in my life, but rather take my husky and enjoy life. Today i broke with that :( because of the loving swans :) :) :)
  •  Comment You are really a special effects supervisor to me but you forgot a bit of swan in the bottom right corner. --LucaG 16:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment oooops, done --Makro Freak 17:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment And now you should insert the "retouched picture" template... Alvesgaspar 17:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Question Where can i find this template, Alvesgaspar? --Makro Freak 18:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Info - I put it in the description part of the pic file. But you still need to complete the task... Alvesgaspar 18:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Support --Makro Freak 15:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support For the fixed version  Oppose There's a seam instead of a oof swan now, did you copy that from another pic? The new part seems to have more feather detail. MichaD 16:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Yes your right. That was the wrong version. Fixed. --Makro Freak 17:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment There's still a slight problem on the leg, sorry for nitpicking MichaD 18:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Bwah! .. fixed and :) --Makro Freak 18:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Still, I see it slightly tilted. Don't get me wrong, I like the picture a lot ;) Keta 20:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Support --Bergwolf 10:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment This seems incredibly cruel considering the sterling job you've done of cutting out that scene stealing foreground swan ... but the reflection is not right, right most reflection is blurred and bits that were on the right side of that neck are now gone (If you can't fix it I might vote support anyway, because I wouldn't know the difference if I'd not seen the original :-) --Tony Wills 11:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, but this image is not worth the deceit. This amount of digital manipulation sould be strongly discouraged. As per project scope commons still is a repository for wikimedia projects, which largely (by usage) are encyclepedic in nature. --Dschwen 11:46, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I fail to see any deceit here, one out of focus foreground element was removed (like perhaps removing a distracting grass stem from a photo of a blackbird). The picture appears to be showing courtship behaviour (together with other versions on its image page), quite encyclopaedic and the heart shape between them adds interest. --Tony Wills 12:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose. as Dschwen --Karelj 19:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
•  Question The two vertical areas look to me like reflections of the bird edges, I do expect to see some discontinuity there. Which detail do I miss noticing that would show these to be edit seams?--Klaus with K 12:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
