Support Great capture of the species, the feet are slightly obscured by the shells but not enough to worry about. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 21:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- I'm seeing a bit of chromatic aberration on the beak, but am happy to support anyway. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 09:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Lack of contrast at the breast, no differentiation from background, significant noise on beak and feathers. I'll also note, by the by, that resolution on subject is less than other currently opposed images. It would be nice to have some consistency.
