  • Oppose. I have removed this image from the article. As was said, the other image is far superior; the main thing stopping that one from being of FP quality is its small size. There are a number of issues with this one, but, in short, I do not think the camera you used to take this is going to be up to scratch for FP-quality pictures most of the time. To top it all off, your edit warring is completely unacceptable. If you disagree with another editor's actions, discuss it with them on a talk page- the least you can do is explain your actions in an edit summary. J Milburn (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (ec) If this image was being used in Camouflage, it would work better. But in Killdeer, the background makes it far too hard to discern the bird. Too bad the bird isn’t standing on the grass. Not even close to an FP. Also not cropped tight enough. Shortcomings not fixable. Greg L (talk) 18:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since the nominator insists that this nomination be considered (he/she reverted J Milburn), rather than deal with the nominator, I suggest we just WP:SNOWBALL this one since it isn’t even close to FP. Greg L (talk) 18:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I support the Snow Ball. I'm new here and still learning. Thanks for the guidance. Also, could either of you talk to me about how you include your name and time stamp with these replies? User:Gut Monk
