•  weak support still a bit too dark for me, but OK now. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 16:00, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
•  Support I prefer the second one, but the expression of the picture is anyhow worth FP Poco a poco (talk) 22:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
•  Support I actually prefer this one. The shadows of the birds indicate a low sun, i assume the evening sun, and the lighting seems appropriate. The brightened image below tries to make it high-noon. Kleuske (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
•  Support Alt is a bit overcooked. This is brilliant. Saffron Blaze (talk) 15:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

•  Support this version --99of9 (talk) 06:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
•  Oppose I also think this was brightened a bit too much. Maybe we should suspend the nom and have Pierre Dalous fix that himself. - Benh (talk) 16:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
•  Info I'm in touch with Pierre Dalous. He is working on that (has actually already brightened the picture up, but maybe not enough in my opinion). Maybe users should consider (again sorry) their vote after that. - Benh (talk) 20:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
