 * , why didn't you pick a picture like this File:Malachite kingfisher (Corythornis cristatus galerita).jpg, where the bird's tail is visible? Marvellous Spider-Man  02:09, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Because that image, also taken by me, was not voted FP on Commons, whereas the one I have nominated was. Naturally I think both are excellent! Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice colours and bokeh. Do you know the gender? I would've assumed it's male because of its bright colours, but the article says both sexes have similar colours. —Bruce1eetalk 13:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately you can't tell the difference. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:18, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem :) —Bruce1eetalk 17:21, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Support - Great shot. I don't mind the tail being hidden behind a branch here, because it's a very small percentage of the bird (and you can still tell the blue feathers are visible from behind). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:09, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support – What's lacking in subject's tail is more than made up for by that big bright beak. Sca (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
