  • Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support. Looks too bright for me, probably needs some adjustment. Nice species anyway. Brandmeister t 11:43, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Tend to agree, but just darkening it made the eye/beak too dark, so I did a highlight reduction instead. JJ Harrison (talk) 04:55, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Looks extra bright to me too --Muhammad(talk) 03:45, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose. Overexposed. Curves/levels should be adjusted. Kaldari (talk) 00:41, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This species is amazingly variable, with 49 described subspecies. We've identified it as humii on WP:BIRD, which should improve the EV. Sabine's Sunbird talk 08:40, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'd love to support the edit, but the colour/quality appears degraded from the original, as a kind of posterisation, I suppose, particularly noticeable on the prominent blue of the foreground wings. Did you make the adjustments from raw? Can you fix it? Maedin\talk 22:00, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I see some sort of periodic wavy pattern. I did the edit from the raw. It is there on the original too though. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:00, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
