 * Oppose The branch is just too intrusive, IMO. Staxringold talkcontribs 07:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Distracting branch -- Cj.samson (talk) 11:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose as above sorry... I can't help but think that if fir stepped just one or two steps to the right that branch wouldn't be in the picture...  Sorry... Gazhiley (talk) 12:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * FWIW this composition had the largest "window" into the nest - a step to the right and the image would be of leaves. They obviously value their privacy :) --Fir0002 14:29, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have no doubt you did your best to get the right angle. It's that sort of problem that is the bane of my architectural/cityscape photography, there's always something that gets in your way in crowded cities. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not FP quality composition. Hard to get, I agree, but it can be done. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 16:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Not ideal composition, but if this were used in an article dealing with feeding, the EV would probably be enough to overcome the composition. This really is an excellent look at how the parent bird feeds the young birds. Makeemlighter (talk) 19:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose As above nom. Lycaon (talk) 11:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Yeah, the branch is one thing, but the birds are not that clear either. Nezzadar (talk) 19:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
