 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 11:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - great photo! Good clarity and exposure and represents the subject well.Jimerb (talk) 19:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Support per Jimerb. Two areas for improvement:
 * the DOF is too wide, causing the background to have too much detail and therefore distracting from the subject, and
 * the leaves on the ground are too close a color to the birds to make the birds really stand out.
 * Those two things aside, it clearly meets criteria for FP. -- WingtipvorteX  PTT   ∅  21:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Support. Great resolution. ComputerJA (talk) 07:04, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose Overzealous noise reduction, or some other process has left barely any fine detail. I suspect the saturation has been messed with too, but that is hard to prove/disprove. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:28, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
