Strong Support — WOW! I likes it. Just how big is that bird, though? 'WiiWillieWiki→^{(Talk) (Contrib)} 14:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: 23 cm long (5.11 inches), weighing just 8.5 g (0.29 oz). --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the unnatural lighting from a flash is really obvious. we need an edit (I'll fool around a bit myself) at least killing the reflection in the eye and the blown highlights on the beak etc. depending on how that goes this may get my support but I think it may very difficult to get the lighting looking good. -Fcb981 15:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It all seems to be one hue; I don't think that can be helped though, and is it possible that the light in the bird's eyes is from the sun? Besides the lighting probs, It's quite clear and encyclopedic. Mrug ² 15:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Razor sharp focus. I'm willing to overlook the blown highlights on the beak and eye, but if someone can produce a satisfactory edit, so much the better.--Here T oHelp 19:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly Less Than Total Support Razor sharp focus EXCEPT at the end of the beak. jlkramer (talk)

Support immpresive detail, especialy considering the relatively slow exposure and long focal length --Benjamint444 11:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very nice, good subject, good focus (besides the beak which is an issue that can't always be avoided in nature photography. and good framing of the subject. Cat-five - talk 21:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
