The picture is large, clear, sharp, and is very pleasing to the eyes. The picture looks unique and is of very high quality, and makes the
Barred Owl article look very good. Along with the previous qualities, it is also infomative. It clearly allows viewers to see a Barred Owl, in a natural setting. The picture was created by
Mdf.
NOTE: a larger version has been uploaded and is (3072x2048) if you dont see this force a refresh in your browser
It's a lovely picture, but it's a little smaller than the generally accepted standard for featured pictures (see
WP:WIAFP). Maybe you could contact the uploader and see if he has a larger one that he would be willing to upload?

Oppose This is a wonderful photo, but the resolution just isn't high enough. If high-res version is uploaded, I'll change to support. --

OpposeSupport The pic I get by clicking on the thumb is 800 px across which is fine. However the supposedly big one at 1536px across (which would be big enough) is actually 768 px across (which is not big enough). Is my browser (IE6) playing tricks? Weird! Something has happened in the half hour since I wrote that and now I get the 1536 pic -

Comment I'm still just getting the smaller version. Tried clearing the page cache and reloading the photo page itself. If I get to see the higher res version then I'll support. Can someone verify that this has not reverted to the smaller version, or is it my browser? --

Support Edit 1 and Original I thought a crop can help since much of the space adds nothing to the subject. But still it doesn't make a big difference for me. Also changed the colors a bit --

Support original, oppose edit 1 – I like the use of the
rule of thirds in the original; it brings a sense of lonliness, quietness, or wildness (as in free animal, not crazy) to the owl which the straight-on crop does not exude. The close crop is good for a scientific discussion of the species, but the original is better to demonstrate their -- character, for lack of a better word. —
