  • Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 11:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - great photo! Good clarity and exposure and represents the subject well.Jimerb (talk) 19:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support per Jimerb. Two areas for improvement:
  • the DOF is too wide, causing the background to have too much detail and therefore distracting from the subject, and
  • the leaves on the ground are too close a color to the birds to make the birds really stand out.
Those two things aside, it clearly meets criteria for FP. --WingtipvorteX PTT 21:31, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
