Pardalotus with nesting material
A little break from the world of insects with this lovely image of a Pardalotus - although it's small size meant that I was still using a macro lens to shoot it! The bird was between 10 and 15cm. Taken in Swifts Creek, Victoria

 * Support. We've certainly raised the bar for bird shots recently, but aside from the usual depth of field issues (which are minor in this case), this is quite a good one. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice, encyclopaedic image--Melburnian 12:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support It has good clarity, is encyclopedic, and is interesting. :-) 13:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support Looks slightly posterized to me, on my screen (around the head and neck), but I know that's no quarantee that there's a problem, so I'll support it anyway for good composition and enc. Terri G 13:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Excellent picture. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support. I wouldn't call the DOF issues minor. All tail and wing feathers are out of focus. Otherwise a excellent picture, quality- and compositionwise. The posterization might come from a saturation increase, or is that bird really that colorful? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dschwen (talk • contribs).
 * Nah that's what they look like - very colorful little things --Fir0002 07:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak support. DOF could be a little better. -- Tewy  21:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support - Global contrast look weird to me... And the DOF can be better --antilivedT 05:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support The DOF isn't perfect, but it was macro, and the head is very focused. | A ndonic O  Talk 23:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Out of focus in some areas, but key parts are very clear. Joe 05:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. An Mdf-worthy shot, (and that's a compliment). Nautica Shad  e  s  20:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support DOF aside, this picture is better than most bird pictures I have seen here on Wikipedia.  S h a r k f a c e  2 1 7  20:43, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Support while nice it is a little out of focus in some areas, but that doesn't hurt it much, 18:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Another great Peter's shot. "It's like a gift." - Darwinek 01:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
