Weak opposefor now. I'm concerned that there isn't enough contrast between the head and background. Can this be fixed? Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 13:24, 10 May 2008 (UTC)- Strong oppose. Okay, let's be honest about this. I have a problem with the twig in the foreground slightly obscuring the tail, as well as DOF issues with the foreground foot being out of focus. I think this image has a number of flaws that would point to a reshoot as a more viable alternative. I thought I'd mention the contrast issue first, but in fact that problem helps to obscure the fact that the framing is bad - crop is too tight at the top, bird wants to leave picture. It's an image that's bound to trigger someone's delist knee-jerk, but really, I'm whole-heartedly opposing out of my own judgement here. Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 19:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

- weak support A couple of minor drawbacks (per Papa Lima Whiskey), but not enough for me to oppose. The contrast issue is more prominent in thumbnail than full size, I think. Matt Deres ( talk) 23:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Weak oppose The blurry background is uncomfortable to look at, and it means the pic does not show anything of the habitat. Narayanese ( talk) 10:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Angle is not ideal and unpleasant bokeh. Mfield ( talk) 20:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Support. Knee jerk de-list? Doubt it. On the contrary, I think this is a very beautiful picture. The crop is just fine, and there are no contrast issues when viewed at full size. As for the bokeh, I think it only serves to emphasize the subject. Very good picture! Clegs ( talk) 14:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
