Wedge tailed Eagle


This photo is a magnificent photo of the Wedge tailed Eagle and illustrates the article well. It also appears to be high resolution and is more than big enough to fit the size guidelines.

 * Oppose. It's cropped too tightly on the top and left, though I could overlook that if the beak wasn't totally blown out.  Is this your image?  If so, was it taken in RAW format?  With the original RAW image, detail could probably be drawn out of the beak with careful processing.  As things stand now it's a nearly featureless white blob. -- moondigger 01:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately this isn't my image so I don't have the original. Pegasus1138 Talk 18:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The good news first; I like this picture. Maybe it's because birds of prey are totally freakin sweet, or maybe it something else I can't quite put my finger on. However, the bad news is I agree with moondigger, on the cropping issues and with the beak thing. --Mad Max 04:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose stunning photo of my favourite bird let down by overexposed beak and poor framing - perhaps cropped just over the "shoulder" would be better? The bit of wing trailing out of shot is just...bleargh. Stevage 13:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Sorry about the beak. - User:Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I agree with the people who opposed the photo above. --Life is like a box of chocolates 19:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. WOW. Great picture- I love this detail on the feathers and eye! And to snap such a good picture without the eagle flying off.... :)

 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px|Oppose]]Oppose Beautiful picture, but what does it add to the article? The ideal illustration for the article Wedge tailed Eagle is a beautiful picture showing what the eagle looks like, and that simply must include the primary characteristic: the wedge-shaped tail. The head only offers very minimal help in identifying the object. It's got beauty, but it's not informative enough for a FP. Jens Nielsen 09:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
