•  Support --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 23:17, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• Weak  Support. Very, very lovely. Due to the heavy NR, the quality is a bit lower than I'd usually want, but the "wow" factor more than makes up for it. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

 Comment My wife thinks that bird pictures are boring and urges me to go back to landscape. With this photo, I kinda wanted to make a point. When I showed it to her, she said "Wow!" ;-) I'm glad you like it too. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:31, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Nice, I've uploaded a version with sharper bird and less noise in water, revert if you don't like --Christian Ferrer (talk) 12:03, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Comment Your version is a bit oversharpened, better revert imo. --Laitche (talk) 12:41, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

• It is one of my defects, maybe I shall have to abstain of sharpening the bird, if Frank ask me, I will do the same without sharpening of the bird --Christian Ferrer (talk) 12:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose -- Whilst a "nice" image, having a bird reflected in the water just isn't enough "WOW" to make up for the overall image quality issues. russavia (talk) 14:46, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Eligible for 5 day speedy close, but one oppose now; so leaving it to the decision of others. JKadavoor Jee 15:32, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
