Senegal Wattled Plover

Original

Edit 1

Edit 2 Lighten, slight sharpen, noise reduction

Edit 3 - slight modification of edit 2

Reason: This picture is simple, yet informative, of a good enough resolution that finer details can be made out, and I feel that this picture could be useful for future articles.
Proposed caption: The Senegal Wattled Plover (Vanellus senegallus) is an unmistakable wader, native to the sub-Sahara African lowlands.

~~Weak support~~. There may be some shadow/sharpness concerns, but Photoshop can probably handle those if necessary. I like the detail in the feathers, and the composition. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-09-26 16:36Z
- - Oppose edit 1, Support edit 2. Edit 1 is overkill, and there are strange effects around the edges between foreground and background (notice around the chest and stomach). Edit 2 is an improvement over the original. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-09-27 15:50Z
- Comment Yah I'm not very good with photoshop. Sole advantage of Edit 1 over Edit 2 is the exposure on the birds chest, but I agree its over edited. The lack of noise, etc. on Edit 2 makes it a much more valuable image. Wwelles14 17:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I went back and tried to correct the overbrightness of edit 2; hopefully edit 3 is an improvement. :) CillaИ ♦ XC 18:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Note. That means you've now 'voted' twice - you need to retract your support for the Original or support both in one vote. As it is, if users don't look carefully it looks like two separate people have supported. --jjron 06:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC). Problem fixed. --jjron 09:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Decent detail, lots of editing to make it look better, but the composition takes away from it all: it makes me want to know what the bird looks like from other angles than just the side. Puddyglum 23:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit3. Nicely framed, encyclopedic, and attractive shot. -- Chris B • talk 23:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 3: The subject is the bird, and it's shown well enough for me. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 14:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
