    • This image is perfectly focused. It may not have an extensive Depth of Field, but it portrays the subject well. What do you mean by exif?

  •  Support - good pic, looks well-focussed to me, and (unusually for a pure white subject) shows feather detail well without being burnt out; very difficult to catch successfully. Comment: Exif data is the info (camera manufacturer, date & time, exposure, etc.) that is added by the camera to the raw image; it is deleted when a pic is edited (any type of editing, including cropping edges, etc) in a photo-editing programme, and can't be restored. If exif data was a FPC requirement (which it isn't), then no edited photo could ever be featured (which plenty are). - MPF 14:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Strange! I beg to differ on (almost) all accounts. No part of this picture seems to me in focus (look at the eye for instance), and exifs are usually not destroyed when editing a picture, moreover, if you happen to lose the exif data, it can (e.g. in paintshop pro) perfectly be restored by pasting the edited vesion on top of the original version and then saving it. I'm puzzled here ??? . Lycaon 16:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not experienced enough to discuss the exif, but this picture seems in focus to me. Look at the rest of the picture, aside from the eye. The foreground may be blurry, as it should be, but the bird is crystal clear. --Birdman1 16:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Distracting surroundings, compression artifacts (e.g. halo around the head) --Siebengang 17:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral The EXIF info I found using Photoshop Elements. The camera is Canon EOS 10D, 1/350 sec F6.7 using lens 75-300 mm at 195 mm. Surprising is that that camera has a max resolution of 3072 x 2048. The image is 4200 x 3300 which means in my opinion that the picture has been blown up 1.6 times. (Why?) That explains why it is not really sharp. Just like scanning a transparant with a too high resolution.--Wouterhagens 20:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose as per Lyacon, and their not particularly difficult subject matter anyway, I can't speak for africa but they're very common here (Australia)--Benjamint444 02:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Karelj 09:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose ack Lyacon and i dont like the light conditions --Simonizer 09:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
result: 4 support, 4 oppose, 1 neutral => not featured. Simonizer 07:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
