Original – Great-winged Petrel (Pterodroma macroptera), East of the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
This petrel has a wingspan of around a meter. It breeds on a number of sub-Antarctic islands, and sometimes on the coasts of Australia and New Zealand. I think this is a very nice flight shot. I've rarely seen them on the water and my attempts from previous trips haven't been very successful.

  • Support Sharpness/detail not quite as good as some of your other shots (presumably due to the highish ISO) but still very good. Nice angle on the bird. --Fir0002 03:35, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very nice picture of a very nice species. Also, this is my first edit on Wikipedia! IamReallyReallyCool৳@₤₭ —Preceding undated comment added 14:20, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support The size-hike proposal would make this ineligible as most of the megapixels derive from the rather generous framing. However, I think that proposal needs to be binned as it stands now anyway, so I'll support. Samsara (FA  FP) 14:43, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The "proposal", wherein 2/3rds majority has been interpreted as consensus doesn't take into account the tightness of the framing, I don't think. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:47, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
