•  Info A group of Greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) was feeding at the lakeshore of the Étang de l'Oeil de Ca, Sigean, France. Suddenly all the animals raised their heads simultaneously, looked around and then continued to feed again. This was repeated about every 30 seconds over a longer period of time.

•  Comment It is an artful composite and IMO both images individually are QI. However, the heads-and-tails effect being considered here for FP requires the combined presence of both individual images and the caption to really work the wow. Will reserve time to think further about this... --GRDN711 (talk) 04:04, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment I think, this is the purpose of a set (and why in FP-nominations it is possible to nominate sets and not only singe pictures): Pictures, which complete each other and/or tell a story. Pictures of a set always belong together, otherwise one could nominate each picture per se without loosing information or the story. Finally they also become promoted (if they have enough votes) as a set and not as individual pictures --Llez (talk) 05:47, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

•  Support per good explanation of FP set theory by Liez. Food for thought - if the "heads" image was cropped to the waters edge at the top, this image might be stronger. --GRDN711 (talk) 03:45, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
