Blue Pitta[edit]

Reason: Beautiful and hard to see. Only found in dim light on the jungle floor. This and one other shot I took are the only photos on commons of the species.

Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 01:55, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Not super-sharp, but visually striking and I'm happy to take your word about the difficulty of the shot, which mitigates the possible quality issues. J Milburn (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I kinda prefer the other one. Any reason you chose to nominate this one? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:32, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Better view of the plumage on wings and tail. JJ Harrison (talk) 07:27, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Alright. Weak support on that account, although if this is a ground dwelling bird a picture of it on the ground would naturally have more EV. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:30, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - (It's on the root of a tree) JJ Harrison (talk) 11:03, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Thought so, but not readily apparent. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Can be made apparent by adding it to the image description perhaps?Abudhar (talk) 14:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great pictures as always by this editor. Sharp, and can see the head clearly. Colours are also well balanced. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 09:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're not the nominator. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Short for "I support as the nominator does", perhaps? Support as per the nominator would be the way that was normally said around here, Arctic Kangaroo! J Milburn (talk) 21:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's was what I meant. Thanks for telling me, it's my first time voting here. Changed to support. Hop n hop (on the arctic ice) 10:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Sharpness isn't great, but good enough given the conditions. Is it possible to tell if this is a male or female? Kaldari (talk) 05:15, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a male - the female plumage is duller, essentially. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:04, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article could do with a little bit of information, the like of which you have provided, and more.Abudhar (talk) 14:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral It looks like a flash was used and this was a high end camera to capture a subject that's found only in difficult conditions for photography, but I don't think that I can call this among Wikipedia's best work due to the sharpness issues. --Pine^✉ 19:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support It has some details but meh; great EV. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 01:05, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
