Oppose Although this is a very good shot of most of a snowy owl, I'd like to see the tail in a featured pic.(not just the tail; that would definitely be an oppose) Belle (talk) 00:23, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is some grain that I thought it was noise at first, but at an ISO of 200 it doesn't seem likely. Maybe it has been over-sharpened a bit? --Ebertakis (talk) 20:34, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I don't think we need to see the tail to appreciate the finely detailed pristine plummage shown in this shot. There is a pic of one with tail at Snowy owl. (And DYK they even have them in Sweden?) Sca (talk) 13:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment seems to be a very badly overblown highlight. Somewhat towards the right bottom of the owl, a bit up and in, on the wing? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 14:35, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
