Original - This is a picture of a female Irena puella. I put it on the Irena puella wiki page since the article was lacking a nice picture of a female to illustrate the sexual dimorphism in this species. Picture was taken at the Philadelphia Zoo in the McNeil Avian Center. The little bird flew right up to me, gave me a curious look, and then flew off. I was luckily able to get a closeup photo in the meantime.

Reason: Shows the details of the bird clearly. Uses a point and shoot, but the bird was standing about less than 1 foot from the lens so the picture looks nice. Lighting was fairly bright. Points for difficulty...you decide?

Support Good focus, nice image. Haljackey (talk) 23:43, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not a bad image. I realise this is by no means your fault, but the article is currently somewhat over-illustrated. Could it perhaps be cut down? J Milburn (talk) 23:49, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. NauticaShad es 12:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Even if it isn't of perfect technical quality, it has great colors and a perfect composition. Despite the noise and lack of per-pixel sharpness it's a great shot. Ottojula (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think it would be better to feature a picture which does not bear marking of being taken in a zoo especially since this is n least concern specie --Muhammad(talk) 01:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Do you know what the faint diagonal lines on the picture are? They are most noticeable above the bird's head. Jujutacular ^T · C 22:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Behind the bird in the distance was a metal wire netting leading to another giant bird enclosure. The faint diagonal lines are from that.Chhe (talk) 14:51, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
