  •  Oppose Indeed I believe the whole background is fake. You can see it (apart from the missing portions that haven't been cloned out/replaced) in the unnatural transition from the eagle to the background Poco a poco (talk) 10:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Charles and Diego, you are both experienced and skilled wildlife photographers and I respect your judgment, but looking at the photographer's Flickr page I think he deserves the same attributes. I just can not understand why someone with such acceptable equipment and skills should put a fake background on the pictures. File:Buzzard - Flickr - Andy Morffew.jpg is another image of this bird, do you think there is a similar problem in it? -- IamMM (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry for your nom but I cannot accept this level of image manipulation (and on top without any mention of it). The image you link is also a fake, I added 2 notes, but that fake is better than this one, he put more effort there to make it look real Poco a poco (talk) 12:08, 26 May 2022 (UTC) PD: I left the author a message on Flickr.[reply]
  • The other picture has a replaced background too. Examine the sharp pixels at the transition from bird to background. Very obvious. For your interest, he has a picture of juvenile greenfinches on flickr with the very obvious addition of bright yellow. To be clear, we all post-process, but I believe there are limits to what we should do and then pretend it's original. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Excellent detail but the fake background is really obvious. Cmao20 (talk) 10:29, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination Thank you all, this was an instructive nomination. I sent a message to the photographer informing him of the possibility of his images being challenged on Commons due to unannounced manipulation. -- IamMM (talk) 07:10, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  CommentIt's been run through a sharpening app. Look at the eye. When I image search for buzzard eyes they are excessively round and finely detailed. This birds eyes are like, grainy and completely irregular. Something similar is on the Village Pump right now. Also around the eye, see how it has blended the beak with the feathers and the feathers with the skin? And there are one or two other possible pointers but the eye, this birds eye is almost definitely not that lumpy shape. ~ R.T.G 13:05, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
