Suggested crop - Basile Morin (talk) 01:48, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds/Pelecaniformes#Genus_:_Ardea
•  Info created by Tagooty - uploaded by Tagooty - nominated by Tagooty Ardea intermedia (Intermediate egret), breeding plummage, descending to its perch on a dead tree stump in the Kabini Reservoir. The Gallery has many images of Great egrets but no FP of an Intermediate egret. -- Tagooty (talk) 15:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Arguably my best bird-in-flight image. -- Tagooty (talk) 15:46, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak support A bit noisy but definitely an impressive capture Cmao20 (talk) 21:26, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment The crop is too large IMO. Suggestion added in a note -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:49, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• @Basile Morin:  Thanks for the suggestion. I prefer the original crop as it shows the context, the tree stump is the reason why the bird is flying in this unusual posture. --Tagooty (talk) 11:55, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

• Aesthetically, I find the stump rather inelegant, but a tighter crop would still be possible with it. Too much empty space around the bird in the composition in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:23, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support. I agree with Tagooty that the stump should be kept in the photo. I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Basile's crop that does not crop the bottom, but I support the artist's original conception in the meanwhile. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:39, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Egretful oppose I could forgive the oversharpening on the bird's lower legs, but the stump is just too much. Daniel Case (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
