  • Support as nominator -- — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:03, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Brandmeistertalk 10:23, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment picture quality is just great, but isn't the tree branch on the right side is a bit distracting? As I saw this pic for the first time, this immediately caught my attention.Nikhil(talk) 00:25, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • A crop would be possible, but I think (I may be wrong, of course), that a crop which eliminates the branch altogether would be too close, and one which gets rid of half of it may have the same issues. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:50, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Because why should we limit ourselves to boring human pornography? (Or, more serioulsly, because it's a good, encyclopedic image showing an important bird behaviour.) Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:34, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
