- Support either Prefer original because the wings are sharper. Excellent work. :) DurovaCharge! 00:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose both Original has poor sharpness (I suspect from a too small aperture) and the wings are quite tatty (reducing enc value unless this is characteristic of the species) and are slightly motion blurred. The alternative has harsh lighting and is oversharpened. Nice enough photos, but not quite FP level IMO --Fir0002 10:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose both by Fir0002. —αἰτίας •discussion• 15:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose both sorry but I have to agree with Fir0002, the alternative looks false and the original just lacks the crisp detail needed --Hadseys (talk • contribs) 16:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Support either. Animals age, it's a fact of life. Samsara (talk • contribs) 12:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose both Due to oversharpening and/or aperture selection. Very nice composition, however. -- RM 04:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose Bad quality, poor sharpness, and everything mentioned by Fir0002. --Macy's123 (review me) 00:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
