Yellow-faced Honeyeater[edit]

A Yellow-faced Honeyeater Lichenostomus chrysops feeding it's chicks

Pictured here is a Yellow-faced Honeyeater feeding it's chicks, the verticle branch that obscures the bird is unfortunate, however I feel that it's encyclopediac value outweighs this (Only my second nom so I would appreciate feedback)and the image is clear and informative.

Support (Original) I'd have some minor quibbles with the foliage, but the subject of the image is in sharp focus, which is what matters. ~ trialsanderrors
Weak Oppose Original, Oppose Edit 2, Neutral Edit 1 Don't really have the "wow" factor, the leave on the lower right and the branch(?) that is blocking the bird are quite distracting, bad colour balance (fixed in edit1 (a bit over yellow i admit), edit2 turned the bird to purple...), and resolution on the low side of the scale once cropped useless area. --antilived ^{T | C | G} 06:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good enough for my weak support - the foliage is the natural habitat of the bird, so it's OK. (Support is for ~~original~~ edit 2 - edit 1 is too yellow.) --Janke | Talk 08:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Edit 2. Oppose Edit 1. The color balance is off on the original, but Edit 1 is even worse. True the rose (?) branch is distracting but overall a good image illustrating the bird in an interesting scene. However does not add much to the article - perhaps you can expand it or add it to another page as well? If so I would probably change to full support --Fir0002 10:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I just can't ignore that thorny stalk. It's crossing right in front of the subject and is OOF as well. Even if the rest of the photo is vibrant and informative, composition matters. --Bridgecross 14:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The branch very distracting. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 21:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The green stalk in the in the foreground is unfocused and extremely distracting. Very unfortunate for a pic what would have otherwise been stunning. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 08:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
