 * Comment I think you want to crop a bit from the right. Samsara (FA • FP) 08:28, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose the angle makes it hard to judge the bird's proportions. Pinetalk 19:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too many distractions in background with light, Angle is not ideal, clipped highlights losing a lot of detail on bird itself. JFitch   (talk)  00:14, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Clipped highlights aren't a problem here. You need to adjust your monitor properly, and check the image with an image editing program before making erroneous claims. JJ Harrison (talk) 07:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * My monitor is calibrated perfectly, and looking at the image in CS5 some highlights certainly are clipped. And also there is generally too high a level of exposure towards the front of the bird to accurately see detail. JFitch   (talk)  09:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Good enuf for me, prefer crop --Muhammad (talk) 00:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
