Oppose the background. ~~EBE123~~ ^talk_Contribs 13:04, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. What's wrong with the background? --KFP (contact | edits) 13:21, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would say much of it is too similar in colour to the bird. --Avenue (talk) 12:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...But, but that's where the bird lives. Nice bokeh and nothing distracting. --KFP (contact | edits) 18:37, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The background enhances the view of the bird. Harrison49 (talk) 21:43, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- A very fine picture, nothing wrong with the background, the posture o the lighting. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Alvesgaspar. I don't really understand the objections above. Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:43, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Defiantly, I see no problems with the lighting or posture as it shows the profile of the bird perfectly. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 16:46, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
