- Reason
- Great Detail for the shutter speed and amount of light available. Had to get very close, the bird was so small an extension tube was required for this shot.

- Weak Oppose Though a nice image when in focus, the bottom of the bird, its leg, and left side are out of focus. SpencerT♦C 14:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Question What's the flower in the shot? Is it part of the bird's diet?--HereToHelp (talk to me) 17:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- The bird was definately feeding on the neclar from the plant, so was a Crescent Honeyeater whilst I was creeping up to make the shot. I have a few of it feeding but they make the bird itself less clear. I don't know what the plant is but have asked at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Plants, should be able to get it into the description once there is a response there.

- At a guess I'd say some type of Correa. --jjron (talk) 12:37, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- The discussion at the plants project seems to conclude that it is some species of Cestrum, however there are over 200 species and many hybrids, so it is difficult to say which. I've updated the article and file descriptions to reflect the Genus of plant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodle snacks (talk • contribs) 00:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Fair call - my assumption was that it was probably an Aust native, but there's no reason that need be the case. --jjron (talk) 08:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- SupportThanks for the response and the updated description. While I would prefer more detail, per Spenser, it's still very good.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 20:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

- Support striking composition, and enough detail for identification. DurovaCharge! 18:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support I suppose... I think it's probably the creepiest bird pic that'll ever be a featured pic. Stop looking at me! :P Intothewoods29 (talk) 00:59, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Support. The depth-of-field could have been deeper, but the pose is interesting and the quality is decent. NauticaShades 17:11, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
