•  Weak oppose The bird is great, but the waves didn't cooperate. The unfocused swell down right ruins the composition for me. Too bad. --Cart (talk) 10:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support It's a nice shot in itself but the tip of the wing lying between swells makes it even more incredible in my view, and shows the bird was flying very low - Benh (talk) 17:09, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Very good, highly professional capture. The natural blur gives the scene a lot of depth. -- Radomianin (talk) 10:01, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Support The most common background for birds in flight photography is a boring blue sky background. In my opinion the waves in this photo give a very welcome sense of depth to the subject as well as a context to the image. Also, shooting birds in flight with a background behind them is a lot more difficult than simple plain blue sky as it is generally more difficult to keep the subject in focus in this scenario. Also the camera seems very close to water level, which makes this shot even harder to do. In summary, I think it is a very good shot of a bird in flight. --Giles Laurent (talk) 16:06, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Support The level of blur of the wave is a bit distracting, however I agree with Benh and Giles Laurent -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:54, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
