Oppose Compare detail/quality to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Eugenes-fulgens-001.jpg or http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Colibri_coruscans_2.jpg. --Tomfriedel 1:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Agree. Both pictures are much better quality and both humming birds from these pictures Magnificent Hummingbird and Sparkling Violetear are almost 2 times bigger than Calypte anna. So I do not think it is valid to offer the images of different species for the comparison. Besides IMO an image cannot be opposed because other images of different species are better.--Mbz1 (talk) 13:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Recently a picture by Mdf of a Trogon was rejected because the branch was big. People said it was not one of Mdf's best photos. From my perspective, the photo was of a rarely seen tropical bird that normally lives hundreds of feet up in the canopy. That particular shot was taken at 1000mm, and had a sharpness almost impossible to achieve at that focal length. So, I thought that particular photo was an amazing achievement, and one of Mdf's best. But the photo was not evaluated on those external considerations. I am not saying that is right or wrong, just pointing it out. Tomfriedel (talk) 16:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have never rejected an image of a rare bird because of this, but I know how it works here. Of course my subject is very common and has some quality problems.I've nominated it because IMO it is the best image at Commons of Calypte anna and I believe the FP will benefit from the diversity. In other words IMO it is better to have FP image of a different specie with some quality problems than two great images of the same bird.Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Tomfriedel's reasoning. Anyway if you are convinced that it is the best images of Calypte anna on Commons, then please submit to COM:VI. Lycaon (talk) 18:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
