Support Likely not the bigger and sharper bird image we have, but it is somewhat special IMO. -- Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 18:46, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure that the processing needed as a result of the very high ISO retains enough detail. Charles (talk) 19:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose per Charles, not sharp enough for a 3.5 MP image, even of wildlife. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:00, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Moderate Support - For me, the beauty of the lines and shapes of this bird in flight make the photo outstanding, and that's much more important to me than a lack of sharpness or small size in this instance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:19, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I love this BIF photo because of the head/wing position and especially the lighting. However; the crop didn't leave that much of the 37Mpix of the D810. The high ISO is an unfortunate circumstance, too. That inevitably leads to insufficient sharpness and to a not crispy enough image. So sad, I'm sorry... --AWeith (talk) 14:11, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per KoH. The photo is quite good, but overall doesn't work for me. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 17:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's a great catch, but it really falls short on the sharpness given its size and I know first hands (not me but user:sanchezn caught many great birds shots in front of me) these are not so hard to get, especially when one lives not too far from seaside and has about unlimited possibilities to retry. - Benh (talk) 19:19, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Just not sharp enough. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very good for me, excellent composition -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Sharp enough for me, very good wildlife image --Uoaei1 (talk) 13:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Not very sharp, low resolution and a little bit of noise. But a nice shot and beautiful lighting -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
