Oppose amazed it got all those positive votes on Commons. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:51, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit confused by the focal plane on this one. The top half looks great, but then it very abruptly shifts to very blurry. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.6% of all FPs.} 01:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I share some of the reservations expressed by Charles and Adam. This seems to me a decent but unremarkable photo of a common and easily photographed species, and it's a little surprising to me that there aren't a lot of clearly superior photos in the Commons. My take on the EV: the photo offers excellent views of the wing bars, primary projection, and underside of the bill; the head shape is better shown in the user's other photo of the same bird, File:Eastern wood pewee (71100).jpg, but there the upper parts are blurrier. If I were going to pick a lead image for the article, of the choices available at the Commons, I would probably go with File:Eastern Wood-Pewee (2022).jpg, which doesn't show the wings very well at all, but captures the posture and typical appearnce of the bird in the field better than the nominated photo IMO.
