 * Comment. That thing in the background hanging down above it's beak is a bit distracting. Would it be inappropriate to clone that out? --jjron (talk) 15:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, Its out of focus anyway. I'll post an edit a bit later. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Added the edit. I didn't go all the way because it gets a bit difficult to do convincingly over the change from green to yellow. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support either with preference for the edit. No problems that I can see, good focus. I like the variety of colours as well.  Spencer T♦ Nominate! 03:12, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am glad you mentioned the focus. The dove is focused, but the foreground looks out-of-focus to me. Personally speaking, I think the blurred foreground is a serious flaw. Snowman (talk) 17:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support edit 1: Ever so slightly improved by having the leaf out of the way, but the original is ok, too.  Mae din \talk 18:07, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support although I'd be inclined to crop the blurred foreground a bit higher jimfbleak (talk) 05:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
