Comment- I wouldn't call this a tight shot. Hafspajen (talk) 11:39, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Each to their own... I do... I'd like to see the actual falconer in shot if this is a demonstration of falconry... gazhiley 13:19, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a compromise no matter how you look at it. The photographer can either shoot from a bit further back (or with a shorter lens) and lose detail in the bird and glove, or shot from close in and lose information on the falconer. I tend to fall on the "closer" side of that compromise, but I understand that not all people do (and to be honest I can't see the glove as anything other than a glove). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:24, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh I agree it's a compromise. If this was nominated purely for the Owl, it'd be a full support all the way. However the nom is about falconry, and you can't see the falconer. Hence Weak Support. gazhiley 15:28, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
