•  Comment That is one unhappy bird ! At f=33mm, that must have been at 1-2m to the nest. --Atoma 17:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, can't support nest photography . Lycaon 18:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - ditto to Lycaon - MPF 23:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose and  Question Excuse my ignorance, but what is the problem in supporting nest photographs? If we use adequate equipment (a good telephoto), so that the birds are not disturbed, what is the difference between taking a shot of a nest or of an adult bird? In this particular case, I don't aprove the use of the flash and the photographic quality is not good enough - Alvesgaspar 23:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Please read the comment of user Atoma, then you will know it --Simonizer 09:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
    •  Comment I think that's why Alvesgaspar talked about Telephoto lense and that he dissaproved the use of a flash. I personnaly agree with him. Why couldn't one approve a nest photo in the case he described (without disturbing the subject) ??? Benh 11:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose I think it's sharp, but a little noisy. Flash flattens the subject and I don't like the cold colours. I also have to agree with Atoma. Benh 07:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose This photograph would be illegal if taken in the UK, due to the disturbance the photographer must be causing. I don't know if the laws in Australia are similar, but para 3.1 of these Australian guidelines say that nesting birds should not be disturbed. --MichaelMaggs 16:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose as Lycaon, also it's flat. --Leafnode 08:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
