Shot near the bay of Lac Cai on the east side of Bonaire, a small island in the Dutch Caribbean (BES Islands). Mangroves fringe the backwaters of the bay where a reddish egret was fishing from a 4 ft (1.2 m) high perch for a "bird's-eye" view of the water.

•  Oppose Works pretty well from a compositional point of view. The pose is rather striking. However, the quality level of especially the egret is in my opinion not on par with our usual FPs of birds. The feathers look washed-out, especially those in shadow, and they are also noisy. I think shadows have already been highlighted, but yet the parts of the egret in shadow is not detailed anough. I also miss information in the file page about the shooting location. I am also confused about the time of day, which says 01:43:44?? A geocode would be helpful as well for re-users of the image. Sorry. --Slaunger (talk) 11:40, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks for adding some information about the location. But please add it to the file page as this is the place any additional information about a photograph should be added. It is unlikely that people stumbling on your image, looking for more information, will incidentally notice a small annotation on an FPC nomination page, where the image was used. --Slaunger (talk) 05:07, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Oppose—the wall of vegetation and the sliver of sky at the top makes for a pretty unattractive background, and it's a bit too bright almost shilouetting the bird—Love, Kelvinsong talk 21:45, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment - Shouldn't this image be in the .jpg format? For a 8MP image, the size seems to be too large. Do we accept .png formats also at FPC? Nikhil (talk) 01:53, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
