Satin Bowerbird[edit]

Clear and informative, this is a close up of a female Satin Bowerbird, it's not often that you see a photo of a wild bird that shows it's face so well --Benjamint444 05:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Self Nom. --Benjamint444 05:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Only the eye is in focus, there is purple fringing near the edges, and I would prefer to see the entire bird. --Tewy 03:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree, the scope of the picture is too small. However, it is indeed a very nice closeup of the eye.Echo.brian 04:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I love the eyes of bowerbirds, but it doesn't make it particularly useful. A very good quality photo of the entire bird should still show their eye. You should nominate a cropped version of the blue wrens, that is a really cool photo. --liquidGhoul 08:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why is there no EXIF info in the file? Any kind of postprocessing? --Dschwen(A) 08:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support - captivating high-res image, but the fringing and the focus ruins it for me - Jack (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support The eye is stunning enough to overcome any other faults. TotoBaggins 20:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I aggree with TotoBaggins, and even aside from the eye, it's pretty sharp. Anyhow, unless viewed at its very large resolution, noise and fringing aren't a real problem. Althepal 00:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, fringing and loss of focus the farther away from the eye. The beak has almost no detail at all. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 10:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per liquidGhoul. Possibly would be good if we had an article on bird heads. gren グレン 10:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, blurry - Jorcoga ^Hi!_{09:10, Saturday, January 27 2007}
Oppose - because birds aren't supposed to wear colored contacts. :o) Actually, because it doesn't really depict the [entire] subject too well. tiZom_(2¢) 03:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
