Support Featured on enwiki FPC -- Muhammad (talk) 12:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Oppose Boring composition. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 22:19, 24 March 2010 (UTC)- Oppose I do like the picture, and the focus and everything is absolutely fine, and I am sure as well it must have been hard to find one of those together with the birds to take a photo of, but it is a little bit to boring to be featured. QI absolutely! //Tanzania (talk) 20:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support nice composition :) --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 14:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support --Umnik (talk) 16:41, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support -- not at all boring. Jonathunder (talk) 19:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition. --Karel (talk) 19:59, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Support --Ankara (talk) 16:13, 27 March 2010 (UTC) Birds make it interesting, not boring at all.
- Oppose Composition. The subject matter is interesting, but the grass is distracting. Also, file name needs to be corrected to avoid the misspelling. Steven Walling 09:01, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, IMO the grass is just too distracting. —kallerna™ 11:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- These animals live in grass. You didn't expect me to carry the animal to another place, did you? --Muhammad (talk) 14:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Of course not. But IMO grass do still distract the photo, don't know what should you do. —kallerna™ 14:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- IMO, saying that the grass is distracting is like saying the bling on 50cent is distracting. --Muhammad (talk) 17:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- I understand your frustration. It's next to impossible for you to do anything about it. But Featured means the best of the best, near-perfect quality. Even a small distraction in composition like grass breaking up the line of your subject is reason enough to oppose. Whether or not the grass is a natural part of this animal's environment is beside the point; it obscures the interesting and educational facets of the photo, and that's not acceptable for FP.
