•  Comment It's a bit small, so I guess you had to do a big crop. Have you tried a little sharpening? Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:01, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Too soft without any improvements. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:35, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Support I second Charles that this picture is maybe a tiny bit undersharpened, but undersharpened is better than oversharpened. It's all in focus and the bird has a nice pose. Cmao20 (talk) 19:34, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Charlesjsharp. The head is partly blurred. --Tagooty (talk) 02:30, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak support I like that the background is soft but also helps to frame the subject. Bigger would be better, but I find the sharpness ok and like the morning light. Might also be worth nominating File:Синьшийка 0833.jpg (same species, a bit bigger, with the blue throat) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 21:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose per others. Opposing is arguably nitpicky and is certainly holding this photo to a very high standard, but isn't that the whole point of "This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons and is considered one of the finest images"? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:29, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

  @Charlesjsharp, @Tagooty, @Ikan Kekek and others: I have uploaded another version of this image here: File:Bluethroat near Jalalpur, Patiala - Version 2.jpg. Let me know if you think this is a better image and should replace the one nominated here? Satdeep Gill (talk) 04:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

• Yes please. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support I prefer the new version. -- IamMM (talk) 06:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment The second version is sharper and a little brightened. I'd consider not opposing it, and I might support it, except that the bright parts of the bokeh trunk are distracting me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:54, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Support--Princess Rosalina 💄 451314 01:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment As the second version is not presented as an alternative, I have removed the thumbnail to let the bot closing this nomination correctly. Positive and negative votes should be clearly associated to a single picture (example) -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:21, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
