 * Reason:Pretty illustration of high technical standard. Size is 1835x2728 so large enough. In the absence of a photograph of the bird provides a very useful depiction of the article topic hence EV. In public domain. First FPC nomination.

 * Oppose - Sorry to do this. There are a number of sizable dirt specks in the background and the lower right corner looks like it has an unnatural light purplish-pink haze which extends up the back of the bird and in the bottom center lettering.--Godot13 (talk) 18:30, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No need to be sorry, if there are problems with the image than they have to be pointed out. I have no experience in editing just thought it looked good. Can the problems be edited out by our experienced photo editors without manipulating the image too much? Cowlibob (talk) 19:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I would think that the spots could be removed and the haze evened out. Even though the JPG image file meets size criteria, it would be helpful (not necessarily a requirement) to work from a larger raw (TIF) file if possible...--Godot13 (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It seems the original uploaded image was a smaller jpg [] that was edited into this one. User who worked on it is away till September 17 according to their userpage.Cowlibob (talk) 14:47, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
