Original – Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) in Toulouse

Support. Shame it appears a bit underexposed though, but quite a striking bird. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, not really a fan of the composition, but it seems to meet the technical criteria. Kaldari (talk) 05:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm going to need to oppose due to the unnatural perch. For such a common bird I think we can do better. — raeky t 06:26, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support adequate EV and technical quality. In response to Raeky, birds which live in urban environments often perch like this. If I thought this was an intentionally posed photo then I might oppose. --Pine^✉ 04:54, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Good image quality and good posture, but I do also find the chair slightly distracting, not for being a human artefact, but the strong reflections on the metallic bar. Maybe a bottom crop can help. --ELEKHH^T 01:04, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support The EV is in the bird not in where it's standing. I don't find the bar all that distracting from the subject and as stated it isn't that odd in an urban environment. Cat-five t c ---- 13:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
