Weak support - Bird is beautiful, but those rocks... I winced. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:28, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The rocks are covered in white guano. JJ Harrison (talk) 12:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose those rocks are awfully bright and large in the frame and they're OOF which is too distracting for me. How about cropping the bottom of the image? Pine^(talk) 08:35, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Is it worth asking Clegs what he thought of the edit that he asked for? JJ Harrison (talk) 10:42, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - You mean Pine? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:14, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Probably. Sorry about that. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:12, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - 1st crop still has too much of those blurry bright rocks for me to support. I added Alt 2 which I would support. Hopefully this isn't too late but if it is I'd support this on a re-nom. Pine^(talk) 04:51, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
