 * Weak Oppose It's nice, but the EV isn't immediately clear to me. The beak and eyes, which are all you can see in this photo, are barely discussed in the article (only the mouth is mentioned, and only to say "the mouth is only used for eating). What does the reader gain from this photo, other than "wow, that's a really nice picture"?  Sing  Cal  01:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose While it is a very nice, clear photo. It doesn't really add any value to the article. There are plenty of other photos of the golden eagle, and there is an even better one of the eagle's head already on the page. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 19:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Support Quality photo. However, the subject matter is 'eagle head' which is partially cropped. So information value wise its marginal. If another close up 'eagle head' shot comes around (of equal quality and improved content) this one can always be delisted I suppose. --Mike Spenard (talk) 07:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
