 * Oppose The eye is in shadow and the legs are concealed by foliage Hariya1234 (talk) 03:41, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Neutral. I'm not keen on wildlife photos when they're taken in captivity, zoos, safari parks etc. From a read of the article, these birds are prevalent in the African desert. It doesn't look like it's in anything close to its natural habitat here. So it seems false, and the EV goes down for me. Matthewedwards : Chat  03:44, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Poor lighting mainly, but as above, not a natural environment. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  11:34, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
