• Oppose Too soft. DOF is low. Dusty777 22:07, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
• Comment DOF isn't the problem, it was taken at f22 which will have negatively impacted the sharpness even on a 1D; DOF is actually too high :p Benjamint 12:53, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

• Whether the DOF is too high or low, the effect is the same. Dusty777 19:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose, subjects need to be sharper, and stand out from the background better. Impressive low noise for ISO used however. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose, too much diffraction softening. Might have better luck photographing a single bird at a shallower DOF. Kaldari (talk) 22:31, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
