• Oppose Would like to see the full duck. But otherwise nice.--GoP_T^C_N 11:31, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Notice that there are already FPs of birds showing only the head, see Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds and specifically File:House sparrow portrait.jpg, File:Albatros fuligineux.jpg and File:Rooster portrait2.jpg. Tomer T (talk) 13:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose: Shallow depth of field, poor lighting, and too tight crop. Julia\^talk 16:52, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose as per Julia W. Purpy Pupple (talk) 21:16, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose- If this image had more of a contrast between the duck and the background, this would be a great image. Gupdoo3 (talk) 16:15, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
