  • Support. I feel that the picture of the nominate subspecies should lead the article, but this illustrates the major difference extremely well. J Milburn (talk) 15:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Benjamint 09:24, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose; Overexposed? The ground looks terrible, and the cheeks are blown. Jó Kritika (talk) 05:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Looks a bit blown in the white areas. --Muhammad(talk) 07:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is a little patch on the cheek, so I'll fix that tomorrow or something. I don't believe the ground is overexposed though. It was near midday sun and basically sand. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Maybe the ground looks terrible, but the bird itself plays with the camera as Gloria Swanson tried in Sunset Boulevard ("No, I'm not that important, though I ám the star of it all"). In my opinion, this photo says more about the bird than the photographer, which is just what wikipedia needs! Big support! Ρόμπστερ 1983 ☞Life's short, talk fast ☜ 22:42, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
