Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Brown falcon

Original - Brown falcon (Falco berigora), Victoria, Australia.

Reason: Compositionally one of the best bird photos I have taken, but on the technical side lacks things like individual feather detail as it was taken at the extreme reaches of my gear. Was quite frankly pole-axed at FPC on technical issues, but general details seem pretty good. Has been in the taxobox of three articles for the best part of a year (with no maintenance from this author to keep it there), so would suggest regular article editors consider it of value, so I think it may have a place here.

Support - Absolutely. I love the position the bird is in, looking one way, but facing another. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 17:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support All the elements of a great photograph are there, excepting absolute detail and sharpness, but you'd need 800mm+ to fill the frame from that distance. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
