Gentle oppose It's a stunning head shot and works well in the infobox (head shots are iconic and function well even if not huge size). But looking in article, I end up preferring the other two (perched full body as well as the in flight one) in terms of composition. I appreciate your work to take the photo, but am choosey about these subjects to pick the best one.TCO (talk) 02:39, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know that this pic doesn't have the whole body, but the other pics have a distracting background and this looks more natural than those. Also, the eyes of the subject are more in focus in this picture. Besides, I am just a nominator and not the creator of this pic. Anyway, thanks for your vote.--BNK(talk) 05:58, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good quality, and pretty good EV. We've certainly featured bird portraits before (often without featuring full body shots) so I don't think the EV is in question here, particularly because the appearance of the head is discussed in both the lead and description articles in some detail.
