While I do believe it’s a lovely image, and I do like the flowers, I have to agree with Nick on this. As Nick stated, an FP of a lorikeet should depict the animals behaviors in an eye-catching way, this photo does not, therefore reluctant oppose.

Depicting animals behaviours? Have you looked at FPs of Australian birds? What sort of behaviour are you looking for. THis comment makes zero sense.

My comment makes perfect sense. Lorikeets are very playful, comical, photogenic, and friendly birds, and I think an FP of a lorikeet should depict that. I also don't like how the flowers obscure the feet of the bird.

Oppose Unremarkable photo of an extremely common Australian bird with no fear at all of humans. A FP of a Rainbow lorikeet should be much more eye-catching than this and/or better depict their behaviours. Note that there are a vast number of photos of these very photogenic and friendly birds at Commons.

What I'm hoping to achieve? I'm trying to get you to justify your oppose vote. This request has been ignored. If you cannot justify your vote, or refuse to - in this case by indicating which of the many competing images you prefer - then you vote could be considered disruptive. So please respond.

FP voters don't need to nominate better images when they post an oppose vote. This image does not meet the FP standards as it is not a good photo of these incredibly common and easy to photograph birds (wild lorrikeets will happily sit on your hand if you offer them food, for instance).

All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. (Per FPC guidelines) Sorry, but it's not a good photo is such a carpet term, providing no rationale whatsoever, far from specificity. Charles is a veteran FP nominator/creator and I'm pretty sure they won't pick a random picture for nomination. Plus your rationale sounds very close to IDONTLIKEIT. Not something I would expect from a sysop or someone with experience.

Please read my oppose vote, where I explain just that. I'm also not sure what you're hoping to achieve by hectoring?

Support – I don't understand the oppose!votes. They sound like
WP:IDONTLIKEIT. The image is really good and it doesn't matter if there are a million photos of Parakeets on Commons. EV is specific for this image and it is clearly fulfilled here.

Kind of neutral on this one: Well photographed, but having part of his body behind the plant is kind of awkward. It's kind of cute, though, and maybe even interestingly composed. Or maybe awkwardly? I keep changing my mind. Very right-balanced, anyway. Perhaps if you cropped a little on the left? It does make it feel more balanced (see example) Adam Cuerden(
