 * Support as nominator --J Milburn (talk) 13:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Very good photo, also featured on Commons -- George Chernilevsky talk 14:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support The background makes for a nice contrast of the owl. Gut Monk (talk) 16:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support For good resolution. I love how stern the owl looks. There's a lot of needless background in this, but I don't mind it because my standard-size monitor gets a good piece of owl from any point I look at. --I′d※&lt;3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not really very sharp. Definitely reproducible, so I think it's fair to insist upon better quality. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:02, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Will you scratch out your oppose for the following reason? It's sharp enough on my display.  Gut Monk (talk) 02:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Makeemlighter, also the Commons vote was pretty close with several opposes on sharpness as well. I think we can do better. — raeky ( talk 23:28, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * To the above: I don't understand, the owl looks fairly sharp on my computer. --I′d※&lt;3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 00:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * We have a fairly high standard for bird shots, there is no detail on the feathers, it's not sharp focus. Likewise this is a common bird, so it's highly reproducible. — raeky ( talk 02:25, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see the tips of barbs fanned apart. --I′d※&lt;3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 02:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That doesn't mean it's adequately sharp. Compare with, say this fella.  Jujutacular  T · C 03:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

--Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:08, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to sharpness Gazhiley (talk) 12:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I have to agree, the picture isn't as sharp as other featured pictures of birds that I've seen. -- Jack ?! 14:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support. The image could be a bit sharper, but overall it is still a nice image. The Utahraptor  Talk/My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions 00:55, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
