Snowy Egret with chicks.

We have several good featured pictures of birds, but this photo of a Snowy Egret is rather nicely staged. Taken by David Hall of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and uploaded by Factumquintus on the Commons. Previously the article had been illustrated with a modified version of the original. -- Solipsist 11:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. - Solipsist 11:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Good shot of the mother, although, the babies tend to be blocked by the nest. Is there a shot with a clear view of the chicks?--ZeWrestler Talk 12:59, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support even with the children obscured. This link is Broken 12:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - I think the adult snowy egret and nice contrast between the whites and greens make up for the obscured chicks. Sango123 16:47, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Nice!!! If only the chicks were visible.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 17:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. I like the feathers sticking out. Enochlau 06:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. A great picture. It's a pity about the chicks being obscured, but it looks to be high up a tree. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 12:26, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Neutral Can't see what happens to the egret's legs and that is a little disconcerting. The head could also be in better focus. Still quite a nice photo --Fir0002 08:08, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Background is a wee bit too dak for me. The bird looks nice but te dark backgound ruins it totally for me. I'd like to be able to see the chicks a bit better as well. --ScottyBoy900Q 14:26, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
