Reason

  • Oppose, as before. While I have the utmost respect for Mdf, this picture is just too small. --Dschwen 16:16, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is not too small: 1024 x 1024; with the bird filling almost all of that. In most other bird pictures, the bird is the same size, it just has more dead space on each side to make the picture longer. Clegs (talk) 15:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Not up to par with other FP of birds. Not "the best work" of Wikipedia. --victorrocha 18:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 1 and Edit 2 Great work, good enough. —αἰτίας discussion 19:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Edit 2 Great photo and EV.  LATICS  talk  23:48, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose agree with Dschwen. Mdf's bird photos are wonderful but this is at the bottom of the size limit and does not compare favourably with other bird FPs - Peripitus (Talk) 12:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it passes the criteria as they are, why should it not pass? All FPs are not equal (nor should they be). There are always going to be images that are better than others, but we should stick to the standards set up by the WP:WIAFP until consensus decides to change them.

  • Support either edit. Excellent picture, good color, high quality, and the bird itself is very large at full size. Clegs (talk) 15:41, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support agree with Nautica. This picture meets the criteria. If it is better than or worse than other images is a different matter altogether. Muhammad(talk) 08:40, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support any. This really should have closed as a promotion or been put in the more feedback pile the first time around, as the only question was which one was most preferred. I guess if I had to pick, I'd go with Edit 2.--ragesoss (talk) 22:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support edit 2 - Excellent image, it seems like that its a bit brighter, and I like that. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 21:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
