White-breasted Nuthatch

Another very good bird picture by Mdf, this one of a White-breasted Nuthatch. Nuthatches are the only North American birds that can go down a tree head first, a feat that Mdf has caught this one doing. Illustrates White-breasted Nuthatch

Support - Love it. Dunemaire 21:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Almost frighteningly close! Does a good job at visualizing the concept that they can "go down a tree head first" (obviously), and is pretty stunning as well. --JPM 22:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Either version. Top class photo. Little birds like that are really hard to get from my experience, and others taken by you are just as great. You should nominate more! --Fir0002 23:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Too clarify, this picture was taken by Mdf, not by me, I merely nominated it. Mdf seems to be too modest to nominate his own great work. Dsmdgold 23:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Illustrates the article nicely, and the fact that the bird is upside down makes it strikingly different from other bird pictures. Camerafiend 00:02, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Agree with Camerafiend... but I can't possibly look at this picture without laughing out loud. Great photo! ~MDD 46 96 00:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support either, but like contrasty version more. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-01-8 01:42
Support. As with the rooster above, both versions look fine to me. I love the snow on the branch. Raven4x4x 03:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It captures the bird exceedingly well. A pity the snow and the branch aren't more in focus. enochlau (talk) 08:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support either. --Janke | Talk 11:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - 100%. It's very eye-catching becuase it's unusual -- but striking. --Kilo-Lima 12:40, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support.Good quality image, quite clear and it is humorous.Nature at it's best.--Dakota ~ ε 17:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose edit, Support original. The edit kills off details. Check the eye, the dark section at the back of the head, the brown pennaceous feathers at the back and lower rim of the wings and the contast between the tail and the shadow in the back. The original is fine. --Dschwen 08:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support either, the orginal is more natural, but the edit is sharper, so I don't know which to go with, but definite support either way. JQF 21:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support - oo, I like the "more contrasty" edit. drumguy⁸⁸⁰⁰ - speak? 05:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Clear, crisp, well focused picture, well done --Ali K 09:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support 2nd version--Treffer 21:26, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very striking picture, and I love the current caption :)

Strong Support Beautiful picture, unsual and exotic (emo) pose.
Support original version. Oppose contrasty version: highlight detail lost. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 03:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
