 * Comment. I know how difficult it is to spot these in the wild, but I'm not loving the composition. Certainly, that's its habitat though. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * PS: You forgot to link to the article. Fixed it. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:13, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support top marks for habitat and detail; maybe a little too much habitat... works better for me cropped in tight to a vertical format. Missing feet is a minor issue. The bird looks a bit "lost" in this setting, I think. --mikaultalk 12:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well that's partly the point - these birds live in the undergrowth. I'll upload alternative with less habitat once commons sorts itself out --Fir0002 00:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That alternative is really good. Composition is much better, it's a shame that the environment is a bit unrepresentative. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Alt 1 The second picture is much better than the first as far as the pose of the bird, plumage show, and seperation from the undergrowth. My only concern is it seems a tiny bit bright. This may be because of the lighting of the day and I wouldn't have mentioned it, but the greenery and bark seem to be light for undergrowth to me. Zulualpha (talk) 15:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral Original, Support Alt 1. Both are good images of a difficult to photograph subject, but I prefer the Alt 1 even though the habitat shown is not as representative. The detail of the bird and the composition is far better. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 15:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Alt 1 per Diliff. Durova  279 16:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Alt 1 if you adjust the level The current image is too bright, so I upload a derivative work of it just to compare the two.--Caspian blue 02:41, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought about that too but found it made the face too dark/contrasty (which happened in your edit). I'll have a go at selectively darkening some areas and preserving most of the lyrebird (it looks more natural to me in the original) --Fir0002 09:41, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but that sill looks washed to me. In addition without the presentation of File:Superb lyrbird in scrub-E.jpg, I can not compare all images since you removed the alt.--Caspian blue 16:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
