• Comment Relisted. Which version? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 02:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
• Support Edit 1. I didn't comment on this image previously though, so feel free to delete or strike through these words if I'm not supposed to comment now. Edit 1 is very nice, the Original looks a bit washed out to me though. It was well worth going in and retrieving the details of the plumage. Omnibus (talk) 22:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
