Oppose I don't really think feet are negotiable in this case. You managed to get them for the adult. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. The adult image is superior and it seems a bit cheeky to nom both of them right next to each other. If it were to pass, I'd hope that Howcheng'd mix them up a bit so we didn't have the same bird on the POTD two days in a row. ;-) But as above, feet are conspicuously absent unfortunately.

Howcheng does mix them up when sensible from experience. Perhaps it is a bit cheeky, but it shouldn't affect the outcome in my opinion. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:15, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, agreed, it didn't affect my vote. It's probably no more cheeky than the number of FPs I've nommed from Kew Gardens. ;-) It's just that the composition isn't quite as nice as is expected from a FP IMO. It's clearly pretty good though. Ðiliff«»(Talk) 12:09, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; I think that the date when the photograph was taken should be included in the image description. The camera metadata says; "28 February 2008" - is that correct? Going on your previous submitted images, I think that any discrepancy between dates should be explained in the image description, prior to any possible promotion.

Where has it been fixed? The dates are still different and unexplained. Snowman (talk) 23:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you have added a note to explain that the camera date is wrong. Snowman (talk) 01:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Often with birds there are only adults around to photograph, so a picture of a juvenile will complement the picture of the adult. It would have been a good to see both the adult and the juvenile in the same photograph, if the juvenile is not independent at this age. I wonder where the parents are? Are they independent at this age? It think that it is worth adding something to say where the parents were in the image description. Snowman (talk) 01:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
