House sparrow1

House sparrow (Passer domesticus) Male and female (male in front)

This is another one of the images that I ended up using for the Kigo article. It is also used in the House Sparrow article. The photo was taken by Dennis Mojado and downloaded from [1]. BlankVerse ∅ 15:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Nominate and support. BlankVerse ∅ 15:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose - the enlarged pic (even the 640px-wide pic) is in poor focus Adrian Pingstone 16:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  That actually part of what I liked about the photo. There is a nice tight focus on the sparrows, and everthing in the background has become almost abstract. BlankVerse ∅ 17:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support. I almost nominated this one myself yesterday, but was worried about the low res. I think it's good though, despite that. --Silversmith Hewwo 18:49, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose, thought about this one, but the resolution is too low. Phoenix2 03:11, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose Too low res + the face of the sparrow looking towards the camera is out of focus. --Fir0002 06:20, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose, per Fir. the front Sparrow is out of focus, I don't care about the background being out of focus (you can't have them both). - Mgm|^(talk) 09:24, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Sparrow out of focus. Enochlau 06:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
