•  Support --JLPC (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2014 (UTC) Just another very good one (although I'd have cloned out the small white dot on the left in the background). --JLPC (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Damn!! You made me notice it JLPC !!! =P --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 13:43, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
• Cloned! Thanks JLPC --Baresi franco (talk) 17:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• @Baresi franco I don't see any difference. Where's the dot you cloned out? I have added an image note for the dot that I spotted upon JLPC's highlighting. --(✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 13:02, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

How bizarre - I must have uploaded the original again, although I could have sworn I hadn't. I'll upload the cloned version this evening, cheers.--Baresi franco (talk) 15:34, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Even more strange - I've not done anything, and the dot has disappeared. No change to file upload history, so I must have uploaded the cloned-out version yesterday after all. --Baresi franco (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Hmm it's ok on my phone. Probably a saved cache or purging problem on my computer. So problem resolved. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 06:53, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hehe, I have been caught in cache hell before too. Not even a purge would help. I have learned to leave it for a day and see what happens. In every case it resolved itself as the servers propagate the new image and associated thumbs. Saffron Blaze (talk) 07:08, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Leave it for a day...I'm on computer now and the spot is still there. :( (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 13:35, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry but the picure is not bad but the quality, size and composition are not outstandings IMO for a bird very often photographed. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support --DXR (talk) 15:50, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
•  Support Thanks for the nomination! I had hesitated to nominate this, even though it's a fave of mine, because of the high-ish ISO (I can understand your point Christian, although I would amicably disagree about the composition and size). However, I've gone and looked at some of the other Mandarin FPs, and I think the detail is comparable. And the pair of them posing like that against the background makes it memorable, imo. --Baresi franco (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Yes indeed the composition is not bad and it's a nice image but I keep my point of view for the rest. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Per Baresi. ;-) The quality could be a bit better maybe, but it´s definitely featurable imo. --mathias K 04:42, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
•  Support When I first saw this photo I thought of nominating it, but I was a little worried about people having an issue with the noise. A definite support from me. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 15:20, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

•  Support-- The picture is beautiful, it represents two birds dialoguing, it is a moment very sugerente, this alone it happens in an instant of time, and the photographer has been very sensitive in transmitting us a magic moment inside our Nature. La fotografia es hermosa, representa dos aves dialogando, es un momento muy sugerente, esto solo ocurre en un instante de tiempo, y el fotografo ha sido muy sensible en transmitirnos un momento magico dentro de nuestra Naturaleza. --Rsantiaguez.
