Comment Image is 1.5 megapixels. Also, the red eye is pixellated. ~~And don't get me wrong, but my understanding is en.wiki FP are supposed to be used in articles and add significantly to them.~~ – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 02:44, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: It is a beautiful bird, but unfortunately the photo not reach minimum size requirements; does not have good amount of detail; appears to be oversharpened in post-processing; and has a poor background. Please don't be discouraged however, I hope you pursue your passion for nature photography and continue to contribute nice pictures to Wikipedia. For inspiration in bird photography, look towards JJ Harrison. Purpy Pupple (talk) 08:43, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
