*Alright, I'll say something, since nobody else seems to want to bite. It's cut off. Yes, we all knew these words were coming, so I might as well get them out of the way. Photographically, it's good, as expected of the contributor, but not perfect - I'm sure the photographer would readily admit that the angle between the bird and the sun wasn't ideal - we're spreading the contrast rather thinly between light and dark, just as we're straddling between a full-body and head-only portrait here in a void filled but with trenches. I'm not even going to download this to confirm that the bright patch on the neck is burnt out - contrast issues, like I said. I'm sure it could be argued that this composition is better than a whole-body shot because the patterning of the neck and head provide the species ID. However, the detail of the collar tuft is what's suffered most from the lighting of the moment, and I find myself yearning for more detail of this intriguing feature, as well as some independent confirmation that this is a typical specimen - the wild specimens in the gallery of the same article look different enough for me to raise this issue. Finally, this is highly likely a zoo shot, giving not only a little push to my tendency to oppose, but also making a reshoot a much more plausible possibility for the future. '''Mostly oppose'''.

*'''Weak oppose''' as per Papa Lima Whiskey, if the lighting was right I'd change to weak support'''.[[User:Terri G|Terri G]] ([[User talk:Terri G|talk]]) 13:31, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
