•  Support Nice work, I like the light. --Dori - Talk 14:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
•  Neutral I like the photo, and I also think it's rather difficult to capture a flying bird in a photo. So, my thumbs up for that. However, the photo is rather noisy... you can clearly see that under the bird's wings. Besides, the background should also have been explored better, since it doesn't bring me any clue where the bird was flying. Tiago Fioreze (talk) 15:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
•  Support It is indeed a bit noisy, but I can accept that, because it´s such a nice capture. --norro 14:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
•  Comment Changing the gamma to about 1.6 brings up detail in the background and the underside of the far wing. Tiago has rightly noted some technical problems. And overall it is not that sharp. But I think this, ideally with some image processing, should be supported as a reasonable image of an almost impossible subject. "Almost impossible" - to get as well composed and focussed at this range. So can you supply, please, an alternative with some subtly image processing? -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 14:22, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Désolé de répondre en français: mais éclaircir l'image c'est aussi faire ressortir le bruit iso. Cette image est faite à 1000 iso pour avoir une vitesse suffisante. De plus éclaircir le fond ne va rien apporter, c'est flou car en dehors de la profondeur de champ. Le fond sombre fait aussi ressortir l'oiseau plus clair.--Luc Viatour (talk) 14:33, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

•  Support Je suis bien content de vous rendre Support. En demandant si on peut éclaircir l'image, c'etait en réponse a Tiago. Avec un tel sujet, un image aussi bon que le votre est presque impossible. -- Robert of Ramsor (talk) 00:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
