[edit] Image:Dom Dutch Budgie.jpg

Hi, if I may comment on your picture, since it seems to detract from the budgerigar article. It appears that there was an inappropriate use of flash for this picture, causing the data for the front of the bird to lose information, becoming a solid yellow. The image is slightly washed out, with low contrast on the face. The background is dark and dirty. There seems to be an innapropriate glow from the bird. It is not in sharp focus, and there is high image grain in the background. It doesn't really add to the article, so I've requested its removal on the Budgerigar talk page. The article has enough pictures, anyway, but even if it would need a picture to illustrate color mutation, there are better pictures for that use at Budgerigar colour genetics. I hope you understand that this is an encyclopedia, not a place to show family pets, so we welcome you to include beneficial pictures to articles. Thanks, Althepal 03:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC).
