•  Support -- Some noise, though. --Telemaque MySon (talk) 15:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
• (weak)  Oppose Great shot, esp. the background is well-chosen. But the parrot looks/is plucked and there are several quality issues (head out of focus, (colour) noise, IMHO some (motion) blur). Difficult to take, however the result is not good enough to be featured. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 15:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
• (weak)  Oppose As Carschten. The eye has motion blur. The wings are worse. I think t=1/640 is not fast enough for birds in flight (doesn't matter if the lens has OS). Awesome image of course, excellent composition and background, nice colors and wow factor, but not featured picture imo, due to the many technical issues. --Paolo Costa (talk) 16:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

 Comment Com'on guys, this is an excellent picture under outdoor conditions. If the Ara's wingtips were slow enougth for an perfectly sharp exposure it might porpably just have dropped like a stone. You can't compare this to studio condition! For me the slight motion blur even supports the image's effect. --Martin Kraft (talk) 18:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I know, but keep in mind there're dozens of FPs of birds to compare with: we are not comparing to studio shots but to already featured pictures of birds on Commons, check the gallery out and you'll see the bar is quite high. --Paolo Costa (talk) 18:24, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

There are only three of this particular bird and they are all head shots. --Solar Police↑↑Speak 19:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

•  Oppose too noisy, to unsharp. The same image was nominated in the past too. It wasn't FP. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
  •  Support Yes, but the standards were much higher then! พ.s. 00:02, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
    •  Comment Interesting trend, IMO the bar should be the same for all images. But I guess that's just utopia. —kallerna™ 09:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
      •  Oppose Of course you are correct, I was just noticing a recent trend. FP is not what it used to be, sadly... พ.s. 12:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
        • Again ? Unfortunately, some comments and votes continue to be what they used to be, sadly...--Jebulon (talk) 14:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
