• Weak oppose the duck's back is a bit blurry, so I don't think this is "among Wikipedia's best work". Pine^✉ 10:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
• Support. When you can get both sides of a duck in focus with a telephoto at f/2.8, I want to see it. Until then, this is just fine. Clegs (^{engage in rational discourse}) 10:34, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

That is true. Simply use a different lens. Until then, I wish we had a 'Good image' category. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

• Weak Oppose. Slight agree with Pine that it is not among Wikipedia's best work. The image doesn't 'wow' me. I would suggest the entire duck be in focus and the colors be more lively. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose per JJ Harrison's comments on atypical captive habitat. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 19:03, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose Saw some of these in Thailand. This captive habitat seems atypical. Maybe a little too much noise reduction too. JJ Harrison (talk) 06:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose. I think the composition is excellent, but the image quality is a little lacking. I'm also concerned about JJ's comments. J Milburn (talk) 11:28, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
