- Weak Support Tail OOF and slight visible grains, probably due to processing Hariya1234 ( talk) 04:25, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support It's in focus where it really counts. Surprisingly good quality going through a 2x TC... -- Fir0002 11:59, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment What are those distracting green spots (not sure how you call this)? ♫GoP♫ T C N 15:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Most likely out of focus foliage, but that one at bottom right looks seriously strange to be sure (rather like a paint splodge). -- jjron ( talk) 16:45, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Support An attractive picture which meets the criteria. I don't think the foliage distracts too much. JJ Harrison ( talk) 10:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose (regretful) It's a beautiful picture. The composition, the colors, its all very impressive. The log (or branch, or whatever it is) and the foliage is badly out of focus. That destroys the whole left side of the picture because it is too distracting. Dusty777 ( talk) 16:40, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Some left crop to get rid of one green spot would help a bit.

- Sorry if I'm picky, but you're still using too high compression. Try to save it with the lowest jpeg compression. O.J. ( talk) 15:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

- Support crop. Looks good to me. Kaldari ( talk) 08:46, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Regretful Oppose per Dusty; gorgeous picture, but distracting focus: at my first glance, I always think it's a really bad job of selective blurring from Picnik. Clegs ( talk) 11:06, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose The painted concrete where the birds are roosting and the mealworm, which does not form part of the bird's standard diet detract from the EV. Lycaon ( talk) 12:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
