  • Weak support. The bird is excellent, but I find that hugely OOF area taking up the bottom sixth of the picture more than a little offputting. I wish we could crop it out, but it goes too close to the bird's feet to remove it all; I wonder if it's worth trying to crop in closer all round however to remove some of it, but keep the picture balanced? -- jjron ( talk) 11:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Added Alt 1. I find the original too bright, and the contrast between the breast of the bird and the background is not great as a result. God Emperor Talk 13:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply
    • Oh dear, I just saw the conversation over the Leaden Flycatcher. You're not going to be happy about this are you JJ? God Emperor Talk 19:46, 3 March 2012 (UTC) reply
      • No. :P. A symmetric histogram isn't indicative of correct exposure - one would never have to use exposure compensation on the camera if it was. To be frank, this particular edit looks terrible, it has way too much contrast. I think maybe the original could do with a tad more contrast in this case. So I will have a go at a crop/levels.

  • Oppose Alt 1, Weak Support Original and Alt 2. Alt 1 way to contrasty. the original and alt 2 are better, but the breast of the bird seems to be slightly overexposed. Clegs ( talk) 10:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose all the bright green background is blinding me. Pine (talk) 22:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Support Edit 2. Edit 2 looks best to me. O.J. ( talk) 23:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose all due to issues with brightness (original, edit 2) and saturation (edit 1 especially). Papa Lima Whiskey 2 ( talk) 08:43, 8 March 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose It's another Australia picture. Too many Australia pictures on the front page. Dr. Morbius ( talk) 18:26, 9 March 2012 (UTC) reply
