  • Support High quality and much EV. Alborzagros (talk) 08:28, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not normally a fan of pictures of subjects with this sort of backdrop ie interesting to the point of potential distraction, but in this case it helps the EV of the bird as it has similar coloured feathers to the rocks on the left, and demonstrates a certain level of camoflage. Technically good picture IMO... gazhiley 08:49, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
