Little Wattlebird[edit]

Reason: I was really pleased with this shot, the quality is good and the bird really pops at full size, not so good at thumb size though.

Support Great capture, setting is perfect, interesting view/angle, really adds to the article. Nice bird too... hang on, I think I've got a wattlebird somewhere... mikaul^talk 12:57, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The background is extremely distracting and much of the bird is covered up by the flowers. Overall it is a good shot, but it fails to highlight its intended target. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 21:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm sorry, but I agree with Mcshadypl on this photograph. Pastor Theo (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support not much of the bird is covered (the tips of the wing and tail) and the flowers are both striking (HBW quality) and highly encyclopaedic. It is a honeyeater, it eats flowers! (Or nectar, you know what I mean). Sabine's Sunbird talk 23:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Bird is partially obscured, and those cool-looking flowers are too distracting! Sasata (talk) 04:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn A pity almost no one bothered to view it at bigger than thumbnail size, take into account this image's usage within the article or consider its encyclopaedic value. It is a sunken ship now though. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
