 * Oppose. Not convinced that the image quality is up to par... It's noticeably unsharp even in the 1,280 × 960 preview. and I'm not much of a fan of the angle as it's not easy to see the shape of the bird. I think the other two images in the article are probably superior in both detail and composition, although admittedly not as dramatic. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  15:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: To me, this looks very pretty (it would make a lovely poster, or look great on a wall) but is not really FP material. J Milburn (talk) 15:58, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
