 * Support as nominator There are only 400 breeding pairs left --Richard Bartz (talk) 03:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm confused - where is the tail in the original? It looks really odd without one! --Fir0002 03:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support original Durova Charge! 06:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Alternative 1 only. Far more compelling at fullsize, lighting is better (especially on top of the head), and it's got a tail! --jjron (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support original. The alternative is nice, but it's stuck on an encyclopaedic no man's land imho. If we had one that was up in the air soaring, I would support, because that gives people a great opportunity to identify them in the wild. This one is a very nice photograph (maybe lighten the feet a bit). Gotta stick to my guns. ;) I know there is another FP on commons, which I'll pre-emptively weak oppose for showing only part of the animal (caution: battle ground ahead).

 * Pre-emptive oppose per Samsara. Versions here are far better. ;-) BTW, isn't the Original in more of a no man's land with that odd missing tail? --jjron (talk) 13:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * And you just accused me of picking arguments with you? Samsara (FA • FP) 01:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support alternative - Far more interesting than the original, showing the tail ad wings. I would give a full support to a larger file and a less tight crop -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:22, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support alternative1 - a much more dynamic shot, illustrating just as much of the bird. I only wish it was oriented with the horizontal as the long axis, but still quite deserving. Matt Deres (talk) 00:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Prefer original. faithless   (speak)  01:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support both -- Laitche (talk) 09:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support alternative 1, the nice pose shows unusually much of a bird. Narayanese (talk) 23:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support original, weak support alternitive Very nice. Juliancolton (Talk) 15:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have to say the same as Julian: Strong support original, weak support alternative They're both amazing pictures, but the first one is superior, in my opinion.  нмŵוτн τ  02:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
