 * Support Edit Very good pic- I was taking pics of this same species last week, and didn't get anything even close to this. I think the removal of the rock is the final capstone. Clegs (talk) 16:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Either. The shot is not at the best angle, but it makes up for that with its dynamism. The quality is high enough to warrant a support. Nautica Shad es  21:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak support It's a nice image, but the blurry rock right behind the tail annoys me. Spencer  T♦C 01:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose The legs are waaay out of focus. And ... whatever the other object is behind it's tail, would it be possible for someone to clone that out?  crassic ![ talk ] 02:33, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Yeah, DOF, and a little bit of noise as well. A good image otherwise. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't anyone make an edit, and remove that stone behind the tail? I don't have the right tools. Skolan124 (talk) 17:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried, but it looks bad. Spencer  T♦C 22:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Support per Clegs/ well done. —αἰτίας •'discussion'• 23:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * weak oppose some grain, DOF issues. I also tried removing the rock behind the tail, but the grain there makes removing it especially tricky... and kind of a moot point. Matt Deres (talk) 01:59, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Moderate support I don't see any grain, and I don't htink the blurryness in the legs make it a bad image. I just wish that big rock wasn't there. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  12:52, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I tried to remove the stone. Muhammad (talk) 21:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And I think you did a decent job, but I still have to weak oppose due to the graininess on the bird (tail and legs) and some lack of clarity on the legs. Matt Deres (talk) 20:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Edit I don't think the focus on legs is really a problem and In all honesty I'm not sure how you would reproduce a similar image of the bird with everything in focus. With the rock up it's bum gone it makes a pretty solid FP candidate. Billsmith453 (talk) 09:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
