Neutral The bird looks great. Possibly spoiled by the bright horizontal branch in the backgroud that cuts through the subject. --99of9 (talk) 11:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Mmxx did an edit which I've attached. JJ Harrison (talk) 12:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support edit Ok, that looks like good editing work to me. --99of9 (talk) 12:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not crazy about the area near where the stick was removed. Prefer the original. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak~~ support that branch is a problem in an otherwise nice photo. I prefer the edit but would also vote ~~weak~~ support on the original. Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 09:08, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to full support. Getting rid of the branch is nice but it's not required for establishing EV or a good view of the subject, and generally I prefer unedited photos for their authenticity. Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 21:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support prefer original --Muhammad(talk) 18:05, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support both. Prefer original. I don't mind seeing the context that the bird is in, if it's in a tree then I would expect to see twigs and branches. Meets the 8 criteria. TehGrauniad (talk) 14:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- either is fine. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 14:59, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I agree with 99of9, the bright branch distracts the attention from the main subject. ■ MMXX ^talk 14:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support either, prefer original. Branch is not all that distracting to me, would rather leave untouched in that case. Jujutacular ^talk 17:40, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
