Support, colours seem a little dull, and it could be a little bigger and sharper, but the challenges of a bird in flight make up for it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 13:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Can't put my finger on it exactly, but the dull colours, lacking sharpness, and small image make me oppose. I also dislike the angle, it makes the bird look 2d dimensional: e.g. compare it to this other shot of the bird or your other FPC nom. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 20:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I love to get a good shot of a bird in flight at, or close to, eye level. Many bird shots are looking up at the bird. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:27, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ I actually like the dull colors here, the matte emptiness is charming and reminds me of a Hopper. RFZYNSPY ^talk 00:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
