Support. Ugly bird and a massively over-illustrated article, but this is worthy of the star. J Milburn (talk) 15:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I went a little further with image clean-up in the article and left just three of the most useful/representative in the gallery. Would love to support this lovely picture, but have some EV concerns, due to the black of the wing feathers not being very well illustrated—hardly at all, really.

Oppose a little hazy and the colors/lighting don't stand out as much. Jó Kritika (talk) 05:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support very good sharpness and detail. A slight levels adjustment helps with the haze mentioned above. --Muhammad(talk) 07:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose/but because: I agree with Jó Kritika; it could use some colour. It now looks like the last bird saved in the New Orleans oil disaster. For now I will oppose, but with just a final touch, I possibly will support it. Ρόμπστερ 1983 ^{☞Life's short, talk fast ☜} 22:50, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
