 * Yeah, sorry about that, the creation link seemed to be broken yesterday so copied from a different nomination. Noodle snacks (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 *  Weak Support The focus on the subject is amazing and it is a great shot however only a weak support since as much as I love the shot of the subject (and the technical skill it must have required) I keep being drawn to how distracting the grass and the background are, unfortunately that sometimes can't be helped in photography but it does detract somewhat from the target and from the image in general.

 * The grass is a principle component of the bird's diet, so having that bit in focus probably isn't a bad thing. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:18, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed from weak to full per the above. Cat-five - talk 01:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. I think that, even though the surroundings aren't the most pretty, they have good EV. The main subject is sharp, and that is much more important than a messy background. Intothewoods29 (talk) 06:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
