•  Info Still trying to rectify the low number of bird FP candidates at the moment :-). A North Island Robin (unrelated to European robins), that usually inhabit the forest necessitating the use of a flash, is here, unusually, photographed in sunlight on the edge of the forest where some trees have been trimmed. Showing true colours and good detail including the fine whiskers around the beak. The leg bands (rings) identify this bird as part of the first generation of birds reintroduced to this part of the country in a restoration project, and help monitor the success of the reintroduction.--Tony Wills (talk) 21:46, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

•  Support, but only if you add the camera location :-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 22:03, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

For privacy reasons I usually don't want to tell the world where I was at an exact date and time, but I will satisfy your interest in the exact location of a somewhat territorial bird :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 22:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion geocoding things doesn't give anything away privacy wise, beyond perhaps that you live in a certain part of New Zealand (so long as you don't start geocoding the stuff in your garden). I'd say giving out your real name reveals much more. The geocoding does add value and it is cool to look at a map with a bunch of images popping up. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose Looks blue to me. Colour balance adjustments? —kallerna™ 19:56, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Much better now. IMO it isn't still good enough to be FP. Check and compare to these. Sorry, the composition just isn't stunning enough. —kallerna™ 21:09, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes the white balance was out and made the wing and back feathers too blue, now fixed. Sorry that I couldn't stun you though :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 21:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment Agree that geocoding is a good idea and is to be encouraged. If this were a very rare bird which poachers might go after then perhaps not... but in general, yes, please. ++Lar: t/c 14:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
•  Support Nice composition, difficult shot (since flash usually needed), technical elements acceptable to me. ++Lar: t/c 14:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
