- Info Oriental or Crested honey buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus). There are no FP's of genus Pernis, so I've linked to the Gallery for Family Accipitridae. Created by Tagooty - uploaded by Tagooty - nominated by Tagooty -- Tagooty (talk) 13:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support The bird blends into the dry season foliage, but stands out against the deep blue sky -- Tagooty (talk) 13:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Question Deep blue? Seems more purple. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:57, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- That sky looks more blue than purple to me.

- And technically, it is blue. Dimljacic (talk) 18:25, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Technically, it is not blue. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:25, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: I agree it is closer to purple. Shot with a Sony A7R3 at 1h45m before sunset. I used cloudy WB since there was a combination of sun and shade. --Tagooty (talk) 04:55, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Can you shoot RAW with your camera? You can then adjust WB in post-processing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp: Keep in mind that same color may look different on various devices. It's not the same on a phone and on a large computer monitor. Our color profiles are probably not the same. Screen resolutions neither.
- And, when we're already talking about it...
- https://www.colorhexa.com/6572ae - "Color description: Mostly desaturated dark blue"
- https://encycolorpedia.com/6572ae - "Hexadecimal color code [...] is a shade of blue."
- https://www.colorxs.com/color/hex-6572ae - "Color name blue yonder"
- I repeat, it is technically blue.
- If you still don't believe me, use a color picker, pick the sky color in that photo, copy and paste the hex code into your browser, and you'll get identical results as me.
- Nevertheless, be it blue or purple, I like and support the image. Dimljacic (talk) 10:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

- Comment The sky looks unnaturally purple on my calibrated display --Yeriho (talk) 18:28, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support Read the reply above. --Dimljacic (talk) 10:55, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the feedback and support. In view of the comments, I will relook at the WB and resubmit the image later. --Tagooty (talk) 01:56, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
