Info French Southern and Antarctic Lands - Crozet Islands - king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), Île de la Possession in Marin Bay. I think this picture has a good techinical quality but also a very great and cold atmosphere, and its just epic.

Support -- Andrei (talk) 12:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)- Support per nomination. Quality is not quite perfect, but it's >40mpx so no problem. Atmosphere is indeed excellent. Cmao20 (talk) 15:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Comment Being a big file doesn't compensate for quality. Charles (talk) 16:48, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- How do you mean? I'd argue it does to some extent. This is a 40mpx image that isn't quite perfect at full-res, but I could easily downsize it to a 20mpx image that has excellent sharpness and almost no noise. The big 40mpx file doesn't look as good as the 20mpx downsample at full-res, but that isn't a fair comparison. Cmao20 (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm not seeing something wrong with the picture quality. Charles, if you do, please explain a bit. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Cmao20's wording misled me, his explanation is fine. The wording didn't say Quality at full res. is not quite perfect - I don't have a problem with the image, though I don't think it's FP. Charles (talk) 18:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Why not? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:20, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- It would have been better in landscape with more of the birds in the background. Since the bird is facing away from the viewer, the background becomes important. Charles (talk) 23:16, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. I see your point. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment My first and second thoughts were, "so what?". Now my third is, wouldn’t this be much more interesting in landscape orientation, showing more of the group in the background? Why has it been taken upright? I’d prefer the foreground bird to stand alone against a bright background, too. --Kreuzschnabel 20:27, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Oppose -- unsharp Seven Pandas (talk) 23:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)- Oppose Unexecptional; the penguin is seen from the rear and the group in the back is cropped awkwardly. Daniel Case (talk) 05:36, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per above. --Ivar (talk) 13:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
