- Support - At 2.28Mpixles not large enough by the creator's standard, but large enough for me, and a stunning image besides that. Wwcsig 14:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose DOF too shallow. Dori - Talk 14:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry... bird looks out of context... is this a ground bird? I The shadows are disturbing. --Tomascastelazo 15:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Bird is in context. Red-headed finches are granivores and feed (and just sit/wait) together with their wives in the sand under the patchy shadow cast by Camel thorn trees. They are not as jumpy as the Mossies, but also far less common (at least in Sossusvlei). The bird was photographed under the tree left of the second white car on the middle right hand side of this picture. Need more context? ;-) Lycaon 21:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- In fairness, I looked info on this bird, and yes, you are correct in what you say about it. However, I also found many good pictures (better, in my opinion) of the bird in the net. Photographically speaking, though, I still find the image with certain flaws. The background is distracting, the shadows, the feet seem cut-off. The bird itself looks as if he just woke up. Remember the saying... a picture is worth a thousand words, but if you need a thousand words to explain a picture, well, maybe it is not accomplishing its objective. The picture, however, does contribute encyclopeadic value, but not FP material. --Tomascastelazo 22:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

- Info A version of this image has been nominated before and withdrawn, I assume this is the noise-reduced version ? /Daniel78 20:08, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Your assumption is correct. This was the orignal version. Lycaon 21:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
