 * Is it worth doing a D&R? Ivar's image is definitely higher resolution - you can see the individual scales easily - but there appears to be some blur on the wing (movement?). The face is beautifully in focus. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:04, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That black spot on the wing seems to be a characteristic, looking at google images. It's covered up in the nom image. Bammesk (talk) 01:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The nominated image is a terrific photograph, but per Bammesk I think the existing FP has greater EV. Choliamb (talk) 11:23, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
