Reason: Seems to meet criteria - I hope not too narrow? See original version File:Chiroxiphia caudata.jpg if you think it should be cropped differently

Comment the creator should surely be listed as Flickr user Dario Sanchez. I've always been an admirer of his contributions (via Flickr) as they have provided us with images of dozens of species in an area we don't have many from but I don't think the quality is quite there for a featured picture (although many might qualify as valued images) Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:26, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, thanks. Sorry about that - I simply didn't know; I certainly didn't intend to 'steal credit' or anything. I'll know for next time, so thanks. Chzz ► 11:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose yeah, quality isn't enough for FP. Somewhat grainy (color specs, I suppose) and soft. Zoo Fari 03:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above. The on-axis flash is doing strange things to the plumage colour too. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Lovely plumage, the Norwegian blue :-) Chzz ► 11:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Noisy, unsharp, small. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you for the above feedback, which will hopefully help me to assess potential candidates better in the future. Chzz ► 11:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
