Info Ten current FPs but this is the first image of their mating on commons. Created by Interaccoonale – uploaded by Interaccoonale – nominated by Interaccoonale -- ––Interaccoonale (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is a high-quality capture of European robins mating. I selected this frame as the main nomination because it offers the best side-profile composition and educational value. However, this is part of a serial shoot. I have other frames from the same sequence available if the community wishes to see or consider an "Alternative." -- ––Interaccoonale (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Very beautifull moment, but IMHO heavy JPEG compression (try export it in full quality) and out of focus the top bird. I will change my vote if the JPEG is exported in better quality --Wilfredor (talk) 00:31, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The compression level is 95. It is not a compression. I think what you're talking about is the side effects of denoising. ––Interaccoonale (talk) 07:11, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You are absolutely right Wilfredor (talk) 13:36, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose very good image but unfortunately the cropping of the wing at the top kills it for me. Sorry. --Espandero (talk) 06:34, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I also worried about it when choosing this file. I personally preferred this one because I thought its wing was full of movement, being very energetic. I am proposing an alternative showing the whole birds and both of them are more in focus.––Interaccoonale (talk) 06:58, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative

Comment: This is an alternative as suggested by Wilfredor and Espandero, ensuring that both birds are completely in the frame and are both in focus.––Interaccoonale (talk) 06:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a nice moment captured well, but the image could benefit from some processing to clarify/brighten things up. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:31, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The WB looks off Poco a poco (talk) 10:16, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's well. Can you explain it in detail? Is it too cool or too warm? ––Interaccoonale (talk) 13:23, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
