Oppose Good EV but I don't think technical quality is high enough. Is it blown in the white area below the beak? I know it's white but I still can't make out texture. Also is not very sharp and seems to have some jpeg artifacts (e.g., outlining the belly). Fletcher (talk) 17:40, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I noticed this on the front page the other day, frankly there are already two FPCs in the article of superior quality, but I don't think its even up to the general bird standard. Noodle snacks (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unsharp, artifacting in the sand and not much wow-factor. Spencer^T♦^C 01:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
