• Support as nominator --J Milburn (talk) 22:23, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose because of extensive color manipulation. Strongly indicated by the white blurring artifacts around the bird itself. Do birds glow nowadays? --Niabot (talk) 07:55, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
• Support I suspect that the halo that Niabot mentioned is from sharpening, not colour manipulation. It's not significant enough for me to decide against supporting the image which has good EV and otherwise good quality. Cowtowner (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
  • My bet is shadow-highlight reduction. At thumbnail it looks like a sharpening halo. The solution is to use fill flash instead. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
