American Widgeon


This photograph of a female Anas americana (American Widgeon), taken by Mdf, appears in American Widgeon. It is not only very good quality, but also pleasing to they eye and at an encyclopedic angle. Granted, the Widgeon is partially submerged, but if anything this helps us observe its behaviour and how it swims. Nautica Shad e  s  09:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak support. The only thing I don't like is how half of the body is cut off by the water. I suppose it could show the behavior of the animal in the water, but I would still rather see a picture taken on the ground or in the air. -- Tewy  23:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose. Too tightly cropped - can we change this? - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 15:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ask Mdf. Nautica Shad e  s  11:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose, seems a little dark, with a brightened edit I'd support.-- Andeh 00:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support very nice, worthy of FP Lycaon 13:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Support interesting fine-grained details.Harborsparrow 19:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Support Good photo. It looks just about perfect to me! Ackatsis 10:00, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support The bird itself looks great, but too much of it is obscured by the water. A bit too tightly cropped. - jlao   0  4  02:56, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
