•  Question - It's a great capture, but is it possible to sharpen the photo a little more, without damaging it (I'd take "No" for an answer if that's the truth). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:26, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: thanks for your question, I will ask the photographer to do it @El Golli Mohamed: --Touzrimounir (talk) 12:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC) I tried to sharpen it a little more but it damaged a little bit the photo so I prefer it like that. Thank you El Golli Mohamed 13:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Oppose Could be on sun, seem to be sharpened, not so clear shot. --Mile (talk) 08:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too little contrast, which reduces the wow. If fixed I can support -- Thennicke (talk) 10:49, 3 June 2017 (UTC) with more contrast the head will be overexposed and the wings underexposed. Thank youEl Golli Mohamed 13:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Support Sharp enough for a bird-in-flight at 10MP. Improves with a little downsizing e.g. 5MP. Many of our existing such images are much lower resolution than this. And this is more than just bird-in-flight, but also captures a water snake! -- Colin (talk) 11:37, 3 June 2017 (UTC) Thank you El Golli Mohamed 13:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

The bird has captured the snake. The photographer has captured the capture. Daniel Case (talk) 19:48, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

•  Support - It's a great moment. I agree with the others that it's just for this photo to be featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:35, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
•  Support the subject is difficult, but the photograph presents it very well. If the heron was a bit more in contrast to the background, it would be excellent. --Harlock81 (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
