- Support Per my comment on FPC I liked the aesthetics of this one as well as the view of the animal. It has been in the article long enough so should meet the requirements here. Fletcher ( talk) 01:55, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support Good image (no problems with sharpness here on VPC). Shows the entire subject and has excellent encyclopaedic value. Elucidate ( light up) 10:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support per my comments at FPC. -- jjron ( talk) 14:44, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support It's a good illustrating image, has a succinct caption, and fits all of the criteria. Sophus Bie ( talk) 21:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose I've actually replaced this one from the article since I believe
this image is of higher quality and has great EV since both its legs are clearly visible --

- I don't know that it's particularly good form to replace and totally remove an image from its article during a nomination process. Secondly, while yours may be higher 'technical' quality, I prefer the nominated image in terms of composition and showing it in its natural feeding location and would suggest that it should it remain the taxobox image. --

- Yeah that's true - I'd actually completely forgotten that this was going to be at VPC when I did the replacement and only remembered after (at which point I probably should have reverted myself). Anyway I've reverted myself for now but I think my image is the better of the two: clean background, good sharpness and lighting, full body clearly displayed. --

- Just add both, there is enough body text.

- I still maintain the original (this image) should remain in the taxobox. As I said above yours might have better 'technical' aspects, but I think this is a better photo in terms of composition, etc. A large part of the point of VP/VPC is to recognise that good photos (or pictures) aren't always about who used the best equipment or which image has the best technical aspects, e.g., sharpness, spot-on focus. Sometimes I think we lose sight of this in our quest for the best 'quality' as is recognised at FP. -- jjron ( talk) 13:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

- Support per above. WRT discussion above, I like them both but I think EV on this is higher due to natural setting and more extension of neck... Not that it really matters that much for this vote. ~ ωαdεstεr16 «talk stalk» 05:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've seen quite a few perched in eucalypts overlooking water (looking out for food I guess). They do also nest in trees. Noodle snacks ( talk) 05:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
