  • Neutral The bird looks great. Possibly spoiled by the bright horizontal branch in the backgroud that cuts through the subject. -- 99of9 ( talk) 11:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC) reply
    • Mmxx did an edit which I've attached. JJ Harrison ( talk) 12:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC) reply
      • Support edit Ok, that looks like good editing work to me. -- 99of9 ( talk) 12:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Not crazy about the area near where the stick was removed. Prefer the original. Makeemlighter ( talk) 02:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Weak support that branch is a problem in an otherwise nice photo. I prefer the edit but would also vote weak support on the original. Pine (was GreenPine) talk 09:08, 28 July 2011 (UTC) reply
    • Changed to full support. Getting rid of the branch is nice but it's not required for establishing EV or a good view of the subject, and generally I prefer unedited photos for their authenticity. Pine (was GreenPine) talk 21:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC) reply

  • Support both. Prefer original. I don't mind seeing the context that the bird is in, if it's in a tree then I would expect to see twigs and branches. Meets the 8 criteria. TehGrauniad ( talk) 14:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Support -- either is fine. NotFromUtrecht ( talk) 14:59, 30 July 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Neutral I agree with 99of9, the bright branch distracts the attention from the main subject.   ■ MMXX   talk  14:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC) reply
  • Support either, prefer original. Branch is not all that distracting to me, would rather leave untouched in that case. Jujutacular  talk 17:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC) reply
