Neutral - It's a nice picture, but the cropping (not sure whether it was cropped) seems a little too tight for me. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 09:00, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Meets the criteria, and the standards for birds. Cowtowner (talk) 16:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Crop doesn't bother me, especially at full size. I get the impression the worm is about to perform surprise sutemi-waza on that poor bird. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 00:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. Overfeatured category.TCO (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's an unfair reason to half-support someone's image, which should stand of its own accord as it would on its own article. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 14:57, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's not a reason at all. What do you propose? We feature no more birds until we have an equivalent number of, say, molluscs? Cowtowner (talk) 16:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, what about us unicellular organisms? :-) Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 01:59, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. Uninspiring crop and a very common bird, so definitely replaceable. Good quality and a decent pose, though. The maggot adds EV. J Milburn (talk) 15:11, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support I partially agree with Milburn, but there's only so much you can do and keep the image encyclopedic - too dramatic, and you need another image to show key features. So I'm fine with this. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:55, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
