What can I say? I'm jealous! Superb clarity (but then what can you expect with a EOS 1D and a $5500 lens!:) and nice composition. In short a good enc and high quality image. I hope the creator will upload more pix and nominate more himself!

  • Support A little bit on the small side but it does meet minimum requirements. Great clarity. CillaИ ♦ XC 15:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Excellent detail, very good composition and encyclopedic -- however, the lean seems like a slight flaw. It's impossible to tell whether it's the photographer or the owl who's leaning, and rotating it would make this relatively small image even smaller. It gets my support regardless.

  • Support Same comments as for sparrow above. --Janke | Talk 16:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Yep, it's a great shot that meets all of the criteria. It might be a bit small as far as FPs are concerned, but it's large enough, and that's all that matters- otherwise, we'd have to raise the criterion. -- Kicking222 17:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Well, it could be a bit larger, and... it's leaning... a bit... it's... um... looking... at... me... yes master. support. yes. --Bridgecross 17:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak support While it is 1200 px, it's still kind of small, and doesn't leave a whole lot of room for detail.--HereToHelp 23:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Perhaps it should be turned into another file format to look better at low resolution, but the full picture is clean, crisp, and has a fine size. - Mgm|(talk) 10:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Yeah, size, but it meets the requirements and is really intriguing, a nice departure from the more usual bird shots. --jjron 13:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - Small or not it still passes the criteria, great picture --Childzy ¤ Talk 17:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
