  • There's hardly anything further to see. Please take a look at the second photo. Also, we feature photos of birds' faces and bodies like this one and this one, so it seems to me that the nominated photo is sufficient. --Pine 17:32, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In both of your mentioned cases, there is a clear focus on the face of the bird. Here it appears that there was an attempt to photograph the whole bird, but it failed. Our full-body shots almost invariably have the tail in the frame. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:51, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Agree with Crisco, you would have to include all of the tail for this to be an encyclopaedic image. Some cases it's not possible or desirable to include the whole animal, but in this case there is no reason for the tail to be cut off. Mattximus (talk) 17:57, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. A beautiful bird and a valuable photo, but the standard for birds has been set very high. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:53, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw in deference to the consistent opposition. --Pine 07:59, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
