 * Comments Please do not just remove discussions from a nomination. If you feel it does not belong there, then re-direct it elsewhere. Muhammad (talk) 18:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Muhammad. I know its easy to just say you support as per the nom, but it is expected that you provide a reason, just the same as an oppose. In this case it won't matter, but in some controversial noms it is important for obtaining consensus. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 22:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Support really sharp and the colours are great --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  22:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Support. I don't like the background, and I agree with Dschwen that it's slightly oversharpened, but it's still feature-worthy. Nautica Shad es  00:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Support for aesthetic appeal, the colours are gorgeous. It is also somewhat creepy, giving it an additional odd appeal.  I think a lot of people would click on the image on the main page.  --Blechnic (talk) 06:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That depends whether you can fix your display. ;-) The bird's feathers are not overexposed, although they are lacking slightly in texture on the back. I don't believe its a problem with the photography though. Its just the way the feathers look. I have found that you can make the texture more visible if you apply about 20% highlight reduction in the Photoshop Shadows/Highlights tool. I'll upload it as an edit and let others decide.

 * Support edit 1 looks much better, now it looks more like a bird than a snowball.Greener Cactus (talk) 07:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
