Two Mallard ducks


Found this gem while just browsing around. Another amazing piece of work by User:Diliff. Appears as the main image for duck, and also in Global spread of H5N1 (though, I highly doubt that these two in particular are carriers).


 * Nominate and support. - ♠ SG →Talk 14:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support if a version that corrects the lighting/coloring is uploaded. Very illustrative. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-07-22 18:34
 * What exactly is the issue that you have with the lighting/colouring? Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 18:37, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The whole thing looks rather dark. The water looks off-color, and the white stomach of the male is off-white. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-07-23 00:05
 * Well, I've made two edits to the image. Are either better? ♠ SG →Talk 17:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Pretty uninteresting. Additionally, the lighting is poor: the stone is the brightest part of the image. zafiroblue05 | Talk 19:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Bad lighting and the female is out of focus. —Keenan Pepper 02:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose This image has an odd colouring but I can't work out what the problem is - Adrian Pingstone 07:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose yea, female duck is out of focus,odd coloring, and i doensn't really have a WOW factor --Vircabutar 18:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak support for good encyclopedic value. As noted, female is a bit out of focus.  Caption on image page should be expanded too. --Davepape 02:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose Female's a bit out of focus, and what's the dark splotch by the female's beak? --Joniscool98 15:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Edit #2's color levels look good and image is very beautiful. — Aiden 20:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. I made an edit that I like better than the others, but none of them stands out as FP material for me. -- Moondigger 02:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Oppose If it wasn't for the fact that this illustrates the male and female plummage I wouldn't mind that one is partially out of focus. As it is, that really bugs me. --Fir0002 09:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
