•  Oppose Don't like 1. technically - the oversharpening yielding strong haloes everywhere around the bird and 2. biogeografically - the obvious non-African flora in the background (e.g. the Myosotis). FP is for the best we can offer, not for this type of images, which though excellent, are not the bees knees. W.S. 11:18, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Support W.S. got the point, a bit oversharpened. Background could be desaturated since its taking focus. Otherwise bird is nice. --Mile (talk) 12:57, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose The color seems to be too artificial ... --Llorenzi (talk) 15:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose I tend to agree with W.S. This guy is very easy to shoot (been there, did it), so for a FP the image should be more special. --Quartl (talk) 07:54, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose background color unnatural --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:35, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose Poor color issues, per Llorenzi and Archaeodontosaurus. —stay (sic)! 23:17, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
