Reason

I was really pleased with this shot, the quality is good and the bird really pops at full size, not so good at thumb size though.

• Support Great capture, setting is perfect, interesting view/angle, really adds to the article. Nice bird too... hang on, I think I've got a wattlebird somewhere... mikaul^talk 12:57, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose The background is extremely distracting and much of the bird is covered up by the flowers. Overall it is a good shot, but it fails to highlight its intended target. -- mcshadypl ^TC 21:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose I'm sorry, but I agree with Mcshadypl on this photograph.

• Support not much of the bird is covered (the tips of the wing and tail) and the flowers are both striking (HBW quality) and highly encyclopaedic. It is a honeyeater, it eats flowers! (Or nectar, you know what I mean). Sabine's Sunbird talk 23:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Bird is partially obscured, and those cool-looking flowers are too distracting! Sasata (talk) 04:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn A pity almost no one bothered to view it at bigger than thumbnail size, take into account this image's usage within the article or consider its encyclopaedic value. It is a sunken ship now though.
