 * Reason:The underwing plumage is the most important diagnostic indicator to separate this species from the Short-tailed Shearwater at sea. The out of focus cliffs of Cape Pillar in the distance add some wow in my view.

 * Neutral the bird is great, but the blurriness of the background gives me a headache. Pine✉ 06:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support. Not super-sharp compared to some other images, but good EV showing the underwing plumage if that helps distinguish it from the muttonbird (I like how there's a corresponding image in that article showing the underwing plumage as well, but maybe would be useful to mention that on the image pages). Pretty well done to get the underwings so well lit too, although the lower, I spose it's the left wing, has a patch that's a bit glaringly bright. --jjron (talk) 09:31, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak support, pretty much per Jjron. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
