Support per above, although the caption will need to be expanded.--Here T oHelp 15:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I think the artefacts in the background and the other bird on the far left are distracting, but the overall capture of the subject is amazing --Andrew Hadland 2007 13:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Edit 1 Lovely scene in terms of colours - interesting subject and technically pretty good. The only slight criticism is with the composition - the beak of the OOF tern in the background makes the main tern's beak look fuzzy as if it had been blurred around the edges. Fixed noise issues in my edit. --Fir0002 00:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Edit1 I think it's a great picture. Only the one side of the bird is seen, and leaves me interested for more views of it, but the composition makes up for that. It's beautiful and encyclopedic, and the noise issue was cleared out in Edit1.
