•  Oppose - I think this version is inferior, per my remarks below. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:05, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment Boothsift, since you are fairly new here, just a piece of advice: While starting a nomination with an "Alternative" is not forbidden, it is not something that is usually done. Nominating an FPC is also about selecting the very best photo as in one photo. Nominations are made with one photo, and if voters suggest changes to that photo, then an alternative is created. Please try to select the photo you think is the very best and nominate that one. If you need help choosing, you should ask at Commons:Photography critiques or by asking other users or friends. --Cart (talk) 09:31, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: Thank you for the advice. --BoothSift 23:06, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Alternative version

•  Info Alternative version done by Jason Thompson, with the bird as the main focus. --BoothSift 01:43, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment - This version is definitely better because it excludes most of the distracting dirt on the right, but I don't feel I can fairly judge the photo without knowing how big the bird is. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:48, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: The bird's size is "20–23 cm; 74–96·9 g"--BoothSift 01:58, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. This is a colorful, beautiful bird, but at least some of the FP birds have sharper head feathers, so I'm reluctant to support and will remain neutral. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

•  Support I don't think the sharpness is too bad. Agree with Ikan about this crop being preferable. Cmao20 (talk) 13:33, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
•  Question Are you sure this was cropped by the photographer? The cropped file was uploaded by JMK. Charles (talk) 14:37, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: This image was uploaded on Flickr by the original author, JMK just uploaded it here--BoothSift 23:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination Per Charles and Ikan Kekek, I will nominate them individually instead. --BoothSift 23:39, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
