- Support. The wing tips are a little out of focus, but still an imposing picture. —Bruce1eetalk 17:33, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

- Weak Support. Shutter speed is a bit too slow to freeze motion entirely but still very good. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
- Qualified support per King. If the pose were any less striking it would have fallen short. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - I'd support per everyone's points, but first I'd like to know what the little white lines to the left of the bird are. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:23, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - Tomer, thanks for nominating this! In my eyes the main issue in this picture is that the head is quite before start of DOF and is blurred for that reason.

- If they're natural and in fact genuinely part of the image, that's fine, and I Support. I think it's an open question whether this could have passed a Consensual Review in COM:QIC. I could see it going either way. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
