Support Good picture. Shame about the underdeveloped article. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 12:09, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A little unsharp considering the res, but I'm guessing it was taken at the far end of the camera's range. Kathmandu.. nice. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:33, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but FP should have at least 2 megapixels.Support --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:20, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I don't sympathyze with "Fir's format" (1600x1067) and would like to see the Exif fle. But have to agree this is a great picture. A shame that a larger version is not offered. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:18, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support It is difficult to capture a bird in flight (moving object) and balance sharpness. Nice picture. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 11:20, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was a great trip including a five day trek so some Annapurnas region shots will make an appearance at some point :) although haze was a limiting and very frustrating element the whole time I was there. Benjamint 06:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will be very interested to see them. I'm looking at doing the whole Annapurna Circuit in September or perhaps April next year. I've heard that the atmospheric conditions are best just after the monsoon (September/October). Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm envious, I didn't have any choice of time of year - was travelling with a group of people from uni which constrained my itinerary way too much. Wish I could've spent longer in Chitwan National Park (it's a must see) Benjamint 10:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. I don't like the halo around the bird. --Dschwen 21:32, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's still a good capture, good EV. Fletcher (talk) 00:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
