• Weak oppose the angle makes it hard to judge the bird's proportions. Pine ^talk 19:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC) reply
• Oppose Too many distractions in background with light, Angle is not ideal, clipped highlights losing a lot of detail on bird itself. JFitch (talk) 00:14, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Clipped highlights aren't a problem here. You need to adjust your monitor properly, and check the image with an image editing program before making erroneous claims. JJ Harrison ( talk) 07:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
    • My monitor is calibrated perfectly, and looking at the image in CS5 some highlights certainly are clipped. And also there is generally too high a level of exposure towards the front of the bird to accurately see detail. JFitch (talk) 09:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply
