Support Thanks for the nomination. When I snapped the bird I hadn't seen the caiman! Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:46, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I think it's too hard to see the darker parts of the bird against the background. Moonreach (talk) 14:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Moonreach - the bird and caiman are indistinct against the background, which limits EV Nick-D (talk) 21:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support, great photo! Artem.G (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded what I hope is a better version @Nick-D and Moonreach: Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't notice any difference I'm afraid: the water reflections still make it hard to distinguish the caiman and stork. It's a good photo, but the reflections limit the EV. Nick-D (talk) 21:17, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's very distinct at full size, and, honestly, a certain amount of blending is probably unavoidable. Support Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 16:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the better version that has been uploaded, I agree with previous editors that the first version was too indistinct, but it is my belief that this new one is an improvement and the subjects are more clear against the water. Nominator might be well served pinging the previous voters. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
