- Reason
- We only have a couple of deep ocean bird photos featured, and all of them to my knowledge are taken on land near breeding sites. I recently went on a pelagic trip about 25-30km off the coast of Tasmania to photograph some of them. Because of the 2-3 meter swell, which eased in the afternoon, it was often difficult just to keep the subjects in the viewfinder. Fortunately my camera's auto focus was up to the task! I think this is a good image of a Cape Petrel, and it meets the criteria.

- Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 00:44, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support although there seems to be a remnant from sharpening near the tail. Is the original like that too? Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- It isn't (a sharpening remnant) and is in the original. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
- Must be the contrast between tail feathers and sky then. Good shots, all 3. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
- Weak support. No issue with oversharpening, but I get a feeling you were just a little too far away, and thus it's a bit short on the fine detail that (quite frankly) you've made us come to expect. ;) Still support though due to rareness/difficulty for WP. --jjron (talk) 13:44, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- Weak support agree with Jjron. Pinetalk 07:28, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
- Support Fine details may be a bit lacking but I like the view of the wingspans in flight. Plutonium27 (talk) 16:15, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. After a CA correction I can give my support. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
