  • Support - Significantly better than the other images on the page. Additionally, I find the reflection quite aesthetically pleasing. Nikthestoned 16:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The histogram seems very biased to the bright end, I would suggest a bit of a gamma tweak... - Zephyris Talk 22:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • The exposure is correct. The histogram needs to be looked at in context - most of the image in pixel area is the reflection of bright, sunlit trees and grass on the water. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support --Stu Phillips (talk) 00:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Very sharp and perfectly exposed, must be viewed at full size to see how good it is. Clegs (talk) 09:22, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Nice profile. --ELEKHHT 20:54, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Excellent. Would make it slightly darker though by brining up the blacks in the histogram... --Fir0002 12:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose something about this angle seems strange when I compare this to the other pics of this bird. Pinetalk 06:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Very good. TehGrauniad (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
