I'm concerned that the bird article should have an FP. This is the current picture on the page. Please let me know if it's good to keep! Photographer is one Aaron Logan, uploaded to Commons by Solipsist.

Oppose Too low res (by today's standards) and I don't like the tight cropping much. Otherwise a pretty nice photo. --Fir0002 www 11:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment What the hell? You put my fairy wren photo (a FP) on that article ages ago. I don't really know when it changed, but I thought you would remember putting it there. --liquidGhoul 11:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- OK, it turns out, User:TestPilot change the photo, doesn't give a reason. Oh and I Oppose. It is beautiful, but the size, and detail, are lacking. Also, the cropping could be better. If you are concerned about not having a featured bird photo for the article, you could re-add mine, or use one of the many bird photos in WP:FP. They are a popular subject. --liquidGhoul 11:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- The reason was to inspire kids with a picture of nice looking/non ordinary bird. Y kids? Look at amount of vandalism on this article - kids clearly generete a lot of trafic for this article. As to nomination - I Oppose, as of low res. TestPilot 07:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose due to size. The colors are vibrant, but I don't really find the angle very interesting. bcasterline t 11:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose great bird, but it needs to learn to pose better. The bird off to the right (same species, but different sex?) is distracting. The bird's pose is just awkward overall. Stevage 14:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- No, the birds are differant species. The subject is a Greater Flamingo, while the other is a Lesser Flamingo (flamingos, of any species, are not sexually dimorphic). --Pharaoh Hound 23:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Low res and poor angle. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 15:40, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Very weak Oppose. I love birds, and would love an image like this to be a FP, however this image just doesn't cut it. It looks good at first glance, but when you look longer you realize that it's to small, and the pose of the Flamingo doesn't really work. --Pharaoh Hound 23:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Very weak support due to photographic quality and the photogenicity (is that a word?) of the bird. Due to size and content (the other birds, the angle, etc), however, it can't be a full-on support. I changed from weak oppose to weak support just to show love for it. :) --Golbez 15:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Size, angle, and it's just too busy to work as a showcase of "bird". Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 17:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. The Lesser Flamingo on the right is too distracting and bird's pose is kind of awkward. howcheng {chat} 18:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
