Support as nominator --Muhammad(talk) 15:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Damn that's one ugly bird. It meets the criteria so I support. One thing bugs me though, the angle seems off, although I think that might be the wood, looks a bit, umm... distorted. Or is it me? _Nezzadar_☎_ 05:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question You got me. What is the difference between the two versions? Nezzadar ☎ 21:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Auto white balance on the edit; adjusted caption. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. This one doesn't quite have "it" for me- the composition is a little ordinary, and the head looks a little out of focus- for such a common subject, I feel a better image could be produced. Doesn't quite match up to our other bird FPs. I don't dislike it enough to oppose, and I don't feel it would be a bad thing if this was promoted. J Milburn (talk) 00:09, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Before nominating this image, I had a look on the net for pictures of this specie. I didn't get any that were better in terms of quality. --Muhammad(talk) 00:53, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn's reasons. Also, I would have preferred a tighter crop, possibly with the image in portrait orientation. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 10:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. The pole in the background is really disturbing the reading of the bird's silhouette. Crop on the left might help the composition a bit. Elekhh (talk) 14:08, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- If the pole really is the issue here, I'm sure nothing speaks against removing it from the image. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted -- Nezzadar ☎ 14:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus is for oppose, image ignored by the community at large.

Nezzadar, I stated on a previous occasion and also commented on your talkpage NOT to close nominations with which you've been involved (voting, nominating, etc). Please refrain from doing so again. --jjron (talk) 13:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. I thought no one would mind since I closed for the opposite of what I voted. Ah well, live and learn. Nezzadar ☎ 16:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May be OK if no one else was around to close, but given there's plenty of people closing atm there's no good reason to do so. --jjron (talk) 03:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
