•  Support But I do need to ask if the fish came with an order of fries... that would give me an explanation as to how the photo was made. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

  As a matter of fact from all the fishes in birds and croc mouths that are present on this page, mine is the luckiest one. First of all it never got eatten, while the birds fought it escaped with its life, but the most important thing is that this particular fish image was edited by Hans. I know it will be really hard for him to support the image, but I hope that at least he will not oppose his own work :)--Mbz1 (talk) 06:11, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Question But did he get the fries? I really must know! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 06:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

• As a matter of fact while two first birds were fighting over the fish, the third one (you only could see his foot here) took all the fries.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment I realise how hard it is to capture a moving subject well, but it would have been a perfect shot if the first bird wasn't so rude, staying out of frame like that! 202.12.233.23 13:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Why you call it the first bird? Isn't the rude one is a second bird? :). Yes, I was filming absolutely different things, when I saw the first bird with a fish. In no time I changed my camera settings and my zoom to capture this bird with a fish. Who knew the other bird would fly into the frame? On the other hand you could look at the image like it were an image of a single bird with a fish while the second (rude one) is simply something extra. How's that? BTW there are other versions in the image descrition that do show both birds fit in the frame--Mbz1 (talk) 14:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

• Sorry, I was going from left to right, but you are correct, the rear bird is the second one. I just realised the image is only 940KB! It's aamazing quality for it's size! 202.12.233.23 14:07, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

•  Oppose a little too blurry at full res --ianaré (talk) 04:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Insufficient quality. Me being one of the editors is irrelevant. Though an amusing scene, the composition (cut bird) and the final quality are not good enough for FP. Lycaon (talk) 07:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
