- Reason
- This image is a little smaller than some others that I nominated (the bird was further away). However, this is the only confirmed sighting of this bird within Tasmanian waters, and this, and one other photo that I collected are the only images on commons of this species.

- Support. Good shot. Question should the black be a little darker, or is the bird more of a white and medium gray? Never seen this species (they don't make it to the eastern US), but to my eyes, the pictures looks like it could use a little more contrast. Clegs (talk) 10:17, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- Which bit of the plumage are you referring to? Apart from when breeding on a few islands, it is an open sea bird, and highly unlikely to be seen from land anywhere, not just the eastern US :). JJ Harrison (talk) 04:57, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support Very good, at 1.7 MP is the resolution lower than your usual? Not that it matters. --TehGrauniad (talk) 13:06, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Almost an abstraction ... I caught myself wondering what company logo this was. Nice. Daniel Case (talk) 07:27, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support Agree with Daniel. The composition with the sea and the angle of the wings is very pleasing. --Colin°Talk 11:22, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Support All reason above. Alborzagros (talk) 07:03, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
