Comment There's a potentially featurable whole-body photo of the female of this species (and the male one is already featured). I think generally EV is higher in full-body animal photos. Brandmeister^talk 17:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a terrific image, but I agree with Brandmeister that the full-body photo of the female has more EV, and it's also a great photograph in its own right (wonderful posture!). One point in particular regarding the EV: the full-body photo of the female gives an excellent view of the feet, which are obscured in the other lead photo in the species article (the Harrison photo of the male). This matters, because the feet are what this family of birds, the Megapodiidae, are named for. That's what makes the photo of the female such a good lead image for the Megapode article, and gives it a value that the nominated detail, for all its excellence as an image, doesn't have. Charles, how would you feel about nominating that photo instead? Choliamb (talk) 14:22, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to agree. That photo is amazing; this one is only quite good. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 15:33, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
