 * Support. Slightly front-focussed, and I'd tend to drop off the ISO a bit, but quite good composition and clarity of the bird given the natural camouflage with the background, and good enough when viewed at a fair image size. --jjron (talk) 13:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support good but has minor focus problems. Pinetalk 07:25, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Prefer edit 1 would but vote weak support there too. Pinetalk 23:40, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support but it's not a focus problem. As JJ mentions below, I was higher than the bird, shooting from inside a vehicle which gives the illusion of it being front focused --Muhammad (talk) 08:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support edit I think its in focus at the eye, but appears front focused at the feed because the photographer is higher than the bird. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support edit: Colours look a little better. Great definition and EV. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support both, prefer original I think the original shadows looked fine, thus prefer the unmanipulated version, but both are good. --99of9 (talk) 12:27, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support either. Good lighting and pose. Focus seems acceptable. Kaldari (talk) 03:38, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support both. Very good. TehGrauniad (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
