• Support Good but some irregular denoising near the beak --Muhammad(talk) 08:14, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Supprt Nice work, shame the end of the tail and feet are slightly OOF but still a good image.

• Oppose there's a grainy halo around the bird's beak and head. The legs are grainy, and like the tail are out-of-focus. TehGrauniad (talk) 16:32, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, Per muhammad I did a pretty bad job of masking the noise reduction around the beak (which I've fixed now). Getting the tail in focus would require ISO 3200 or so, which'd be very noisy. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support I think I must've got out of bed the wrong side yesterday. Your fix is very good, you've preserved the detail of the bristles (probably not the birding term) around its beak really well. I bet these birds are quite tricky to capture: they're very small.

      • Bristles is fine, or rictal bristles if you want to get fancy. Oh, and support, tail detail is sufficient for me.

• Oppose I find the background colours dull, and the quality (noise/DOF) isn't impressive enough to cancel that out, even for a small bird. Ultimately I guess I just want a closer subject or better light, because I realize it's not a problem with either the equipment or the photographer. --99of9 (talk) 03:34, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
