- Reason
- Very naturally lit, shows the cere, could be cropped if EV requires. Is a competing candidate to this nomination.
- Articles this image appears in
- is competing with another nominated image, I expect the winner(s) will be placed in Rock Pigeon and cere

- Support as nominator Image seems less edited than the already nominated alternative. This one has a more clearly visible cere, lacking the "crust" present in the other image. I would speculate that one of the images may have been taken in the breeding season. If true, this may allow promotion of both images to allow comparison. --Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 12:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment A tighter crop of the face would show the cere better in the thumbnails Muhammad(talk) 15:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Comment The cere does seem indicative (in the other nomination) of a pigeon in breeding season, as opposesd to this nomination, where the cere is not so crusty, and is less pronounced. (By the way, I am glad that the article I wrote was able to supply you with the information needed for your caption.) Elucidate (light up) 16:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support Good quality, high resolution image. (The cropped version) The Helpful One 17:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Lighting is superior on the other photograph in my opinion, but mostly due to the un-natural eye colour for rock pigeon. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
