•  Support I know many people hate pigeons and consider them ugly (I do not), but hear me out on this: This is sharper for the upper half and then some of the pigeon than any of our existing Columba livia FPs, with the possible exception of File:Pigeon portrait 4861.jpg, which shows just the head and neck; it's a nice composition; and the pigeon has a characteristic posture and facial expression. I considered nominating this closeup instead, but I like this composition, with most of the pigeon showing, better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:45, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Support I hear you ;) --Kritzolina (talk) 07:49, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Thank you so much for nominating this photograph, Ikan Kekek. I really appreciate this. --Satdeep Gill (talk) 08:26, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

• You're most welcome. It's one of the best photos of a pigeon I've seen so far. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:50, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose The head is really nice, but much of the body is out of focus, the tail is partially hidden and very close to the bottom. For such a common bird, everything needs to be right. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:52, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose per Charlesjsharp. In particular, I'm not in love with the background on the bottom right. The tail partially hidden also bothers me. --SHB2000 (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Good quality, but the background isn't perfect. —kallerna (talk) 12:51, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment We have no perfect picture of Columba livia. Do you guys want to nominate all the other FPs of pigeons that are meant to be sharp pictures of a pigeon or part of one for delisting? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:24, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

• I'd be happy to see most of the common pigeons delisted. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:00, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Question Which ones would you want to keep? I agree that we should have very high standards for Columba livia FPs, but I also think it's good to have FPs of common birds as well as uncommon ones. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support per Ikan. In the small preview on the white Wiki page the background appears a bit dark, but when I view the photo in full size, the background is good for me. --Aristeas (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Pigeons are ugly, but this one is not. And I like the composition. Cmao20 (talk) 20:45, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose Good picture of an ordinary pigeon with ugly background -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

• Fair enough. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:03, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
