The reason I thought this worth nominating is because its almost an impossible shot to plan. Getting this bird in such a pose is most rare shot - we are talking photography of birds here - they do not pose for you!! Getting it with the tail and all is a shot that possibly can never be repeated!!

•  Oppose Sorry, I really don’t see anything featurable here. Low resolution, yet grainy and blurred. Why do you think this is one of the very best images on Commons? --Kreuzschnabel 22:11, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose I must agree. Nowhere near FP. --Peulle (talk) 22:52, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
• Nice idea, but  Oppose per others. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:19, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose I like the idea a lot, but the wing tips could be sharper. Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Question Savi.odl, would you like to withdraw? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:00, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
• No, this is a photograph thats clicked of a bird in flight! They do not pose for you, Its a one in a million shot when you get the whole spread of the wings and the both rackets so perfectly placed, and with a perfect background. Please reconsider your votes!

•  Comment OK, good luck. You might want to do a search for featured pictures in Category:Birds in flight to get more of an idea of what tends to pass on this page. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:34, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Comment Sure this is a rare shot but that alone does not make it cream of the crop. Have a look at Commons:Valued Images instead, your pic is quite likely to be promoted there as the best in its scope. --Kreuzschnabel 09:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

•  Support--Ciao • Bestoernesto • ✉ 11:47, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
•  Oppose-- It is an impressive shot, unfortunately the quality is not so good. But I understand the enthusiasm of Savi, it is a rare shot. Sorry. Dinkum (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
