Support Looks good to me. Originally I was distracted by what it was eating, then I read the bird's name... Mattximus (talk) 14:55, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. I'm really sorry; I love the composition and the fact it's eating ~~a bee~~ an invertebrate, but there seems to be fairly significant noise at full size; is this a particularly rare or difficult to photograph bird? If so, I'd be willing to withdraw my opposition. J Milburn (talk) 19:41, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn. It's a great shot, the noise is visible. --Երևանցի ^talk 01:23, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The bird seems to be eating a cicada, not a bee, despite its name. I don't think that's lowering the EV though. Ebertakis (talk) 15:33, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unfortunately there is noise visible on the bird, is this due to a too high iso? The image has excellent composition and the insect in its mouth is very apt for the name of the bird. CFCF (talk) 13:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per J Milburn. Visible noise. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 06:41, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
