- Info Capturing a kingfisher at full speed is a target for many wildlife photographers. I have tried many times. This image does not have the highest technical quality but I submit it under the guideline that a 'good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph'.

- Oppose I get what you're saying about how difficult it is. However, that doesn't make up for the bird not being in focus and the crop. Keep trying (I mean this in a positive, encouraging way)! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Question What's problematic about the crops? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:47, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The weight is off. The same way as in the other picture below (see King of Hearts' comment). Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:02, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see much difference between this one and this bird in flight photo you are exhibiting. Or this one? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:25, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- The empty space on top of the bird makes the image look unbalanced. There's too much weight on the lower part of the photo. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well, we'll have to agree to differ. Looking at this photo would I be OK to say 'The empty space on below the bird makes the image look unbalanced'? There's too much sky on the lower part of the photo? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Not bad but not good enough IMO. Sorry.--Ermell (talk) 10:39, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per above, sorry. -- Ivar (talk) 18:44, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Weak support per nomination. Daniel Case (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose I agree with the comments below, quality can be better and I'd expect that for FP, sorry Charles Poco a poco (talk) 17:23, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 14:07, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Weak oppose I like the captured motion here. But I have to oppose with Ermell and Poco a poco. --August Geyler (talk) 10:18, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
