Opppose. Not sure what is special about the image. In article, the discussion is how to compare this bird to another bird, so what would really be helpful for the encyclopedia, would be side by side photos (not nescesarily the birds IRL) or drawings. Also, while I can resolve the bird from the background, the sand color is a bit similar to the bird.TCO (talk) 12:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps being sand colored would help with regard to predators? There is plenty of background separation at full size. Maybe it would have been good to get a little lower to the ground, but leaving the car would have probably flushed the bird. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:29, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Very encyclopedic, and good shot. Spikebrennan (talk) 13:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak OpposeAs per TCO, the background and also the legs seem to be out of focus, the sand has been focused instead. Hariya1234 (talk) 07:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Nice clean composition. But given its name, I would have liked to be able to see its toes. DOF is not quite enough to get the legs sharp. But I don't agree about the comparison to other birds... it's important to have good pics of each species! --99of9 (talk) 12:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Shallow DOF is unfortunate but nothing is significantly OOF. It's a typically excellent shot. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 20:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
