Female Galah Outside Nest

Original - A Female Galah displaying her crest outside her nest in Tasmania, Australia. The Galah nests in tree cavities. Galahs create strong life-long bonds with their partners.

Crop suggestion

Reason

Good image quality, outside a nest and displaying a crest so EV is raised.

• Neutral Good composition and enc, but I'd like to see it bigger and a little sharper. Also, grainy and a (very) small amount of purple fringing on the tail feathers.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 11:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose - The bird seems like its in the wrong place to me... It could stand to be larger in resolution as well I think. (Giligone (talk) 14:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC))

What do you mean by "wrong place"? Noodle snacks (talk) 01:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I meant compositionally. It just feels off to me. (Giligone (talk) 20:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC))

• Comment. Re comments on size, please note this image is well within size requirements and I'd say a reasonably typical resolution for bird FPs, and it's hardly like it's padding things out with lots of empty space. --jjron (talk) 08:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Added a crop suggestion. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 08:13, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Support Crop - I like the cropped version alot more. Its still not 100% sharp enough IMO and the res is a tad low but I like it. (Giligone (talk) 15:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC))

• Support either Muhammad(talk) 05:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak oppose the resolution is kinda low. Diego_pmc ^Talk 08:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll keep repeating myself on this point. If you feel that the 1000px criterion is too low, please raise the issue on an appropriate talk page, and see if there is new consensus to change WP:FP? accordingly. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

If you care to look there are plenty of bird FPs with similar to lower resolution than this. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

• Weak support either. A bit more lighting would do the trick. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 13:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
• Weak oppose. No obvious technical problems (a quibble with the light); it just doesn't do much for me as an image. I should note that I see herds of Galahs every day, so perhaps I'm just jaded by them, or think that a better picture isn't too hard. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
