Support -- I would have preferred this as a landscape shot, but quality is acceptable and it has a bit of WOW factor setting it apart from other bird photos. Not many photos of bird colonies on commons and none currently featured. --NJR_ZA (talk) 17:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Neutral At first, when I just saw it in preview size at the nomination page: I thought: what is the big deal of a few birds flying around, and how can that be a colony (at first sight the lower section of the photo appeared to be rubble). It was surely enlightening to open it in full resolution and see that the rubble was a huge amount of birds on the ground. What a massive amount. Anyway, it has some wow, but technically it is not very good. Motion blur, rather low detail level, soft focus and flat light. Thus, I cannot support. I actually once took a photo of a gull colony in Greenland, which is in fact currently featured, but the colony part is probably not the primary asset of that photo
