Oppose - a bit on the small side, poor contrast and lighting, unappealing background, way too unsharp, not enough detail. 62.56.107.212 (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, that was me. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 17:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose- sorry, but it has poor lighting. Once that is fixed I would have no problem with it other than it is a little too small. ~Meldshal42_{Hit me}^{What I've Done} 19:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support-for edit 1. The lighting problem seems to be fixed. --gppande «talk» 08:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Hmm. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all The lighting problem has not been fixed, the image has been oversharpened. Unfortunately, all the PP in the world isn't going to save this image. Mfield (talk) 15:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all. Welcome to FPC, Alokprasad84, and thank you for the nominations. This image unfortunately suffers from an unappealing background and poor focus. Compare other images at Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds. The caption is well-done. Spikebrennan (talk) 18:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all. The background stands out more so than the peacock itself.-- mcshadypl ^T ^C 08:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Opppose The feathers are to blurry and out of focus for me to support. Spencer^T♦^C 22:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose all A blurry snapshot; bad composition and background. Kyle McInnes (talk) 11:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
