 * Comment Image is 1.5 megapixels. Also, the red eye is pixellated. And don't get me wrong, but my understanding is en.wiki FP are supposed to be used in articles and add significantly to them. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 02:44, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose: It is a beautiful bird, but unfortunately the photo not reach minimum size requirements; does not have good amount of detail; appears to be oversharpened in post-processing; and has a poor background. Please don't be discouraged however, I hope you pursue your passion for nature photography and continue to contribute nice pictures to Wikipedia. For inspiration in bird photography, look towards JJ Harrison. Purpy Pupple (talk) 08:43, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
