Support Wow... I can almost count the feathers on its wings! Dusty777 18:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Lovely. Some noise, the tight crop at left, and the light background behind its head detract slightly, but this is still very nice. --Avenue (talk) 02:00, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks slightly back-focussed - could probably have done with a greater DOF. Also a little tight at the left, as noted above, but overall I think it makes the grade. Not necessarily pertinent to this nom, but could you please do us a favour and inform us if you're nominating species with existing FPs, as to be honest I've lost track of all these similar looking albatrosses, shearwaters, and the like, but I think we need to evaluate them more closely, esp. for EV, when there's an existing FP. --jjron (talk) 16:00, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Will do. All current noms are new species. I hadn't even seen this or the Fulmar before. . JJ Harrison (talk) 23:52, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
