Bicoloured Antbird edit

The legs and feet of ant-following antbirds are strong and adapted to gripping vertical stems and branches. The leg muscle of the Bicoloured Antbird comprises 13% of its body weight.

This is a beautiful image of a difficult to see bird. The species, like most of its family, tends to skulk in the undergrowth in the forests of South and Central America and we have few images of the family. More importantly it illustrates an important aspect of the biology of some species in the antbird family.

It's a great picture, my only concern is the bird's legs and feet (which are the primary focus of the photo caption) are somewhat out of focus at full size and might meet with some opposition at FPC. Tomdobb (talk) 18:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Flash is a little harsh, esp apparent on the tree. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 21:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The DOF issues with the legs/feet are a shame because the head and body of the bird are quite crisp. I agree with Kunchan that this has a chance at FPC, but I'd change the caption to something more generic about the bird - no need to specifically draw attention to the one bad area.

I don't really want to change the caption - I'd rather that the image had a caption that was informative of an interesting aspect of antbird biology than have a bland, less informative caption and a star above it. Sabine's Sunbird talk 00:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has a great chance - don't agree with the comment re the flash - you should submit and let it take it's chances --Kunchan (talk) 22:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
