• Weak  Support It's good but this bird is a popular photographic subject so the required standard is higher imo. The bird's pose ideally wants more room to the right hand side. There are more interesting poses in the category, though often not of sufficient quality. I did find this spectacular shot, though I suspect it wouldn't pass FP as the slightly cropped wing and chroma noise would upset the nit-pickers :-). Colin (talk) 19:05, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
