•  Support A imagem é muito bonita e representa bem o vôo da ave, além de estar carregando o graveto no bico o que é uma cena de difícil capturação, Parabéns ao autor da imagem.

•  Oppose I'm fine with the noise, but it looks off focus, and left wing is in the shadow, making for an unbalanced subject. - Benh (talk) 21:08, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

•  Support I like it, and it is not wrong that the left wing is in the shadow --Schnobby (talk) 16:12, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
  •  Comment indeed not, but it is not right that the bird is not in focus. W.S. 16:57, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
