 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 17:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Shame it appears a bit underexposed though, but quite a striking bird. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  09:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per Diliff. Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, not really a fan of the composition, but it seems to meet the technical criteria. Kaldari (talk) 05:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose I'm going to need to oppose due to the unnatural perch. For such a common bird I think we can do better. — raeky  t  06:26, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support adequate EV and technical quality. In response to Raeky, birds which live in urban environments often perch like this. If I thought this was an intentionally posed photo then I might oppose. --Pine✉ 04:54, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose Good image quality and good posture, but I do also find the chair slightly distracting, not for being a human artefact, but the strong reflections on the metallic bar. Maybe a bottom crop can help. -- ELEKHHT 01:04, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Support The EV is in the bird not in where it's standing. I don't find the bar all that distracting from the subject and as stated it isn't that odd in an urban environment.  Cat-five  t  c   13:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
