•  Support Too good ;) --Laitche (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I like the color harmony of the rock face with the plumage of the bearded vulture. Good technical quality and great diagonal composition. -- Radomianin (talk) 16:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Taking a photo of a flying bird is not easy. This photo has amazing colors, light, composition and an acceptable level of detail. A big support from me. -- Νικόλαος Κυριακάκης (talk) 16:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Did you mean to downsize when you reprocessed? Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:18, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, because it looked a lot better this way. Giles Laurent (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

  The guidelines state that Images should not be downsampled (sized down) in order to appear of better quality. Now that cameras (and particularly smartphones) can produce huge images, this rule should probably be modified. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:55, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Support per others. Yes, but I think it would be better to revert to the original size, in this case. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

  I just reprocessed it and uploaded a new version with no downsampling. Giles Laurent (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Excellent angle of view, and well frozen bird in flight. Agree with Benh the colors are surprisingly matching the background. Very aesthetic result -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:11, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Good enough, I thougth that was part of tree, now i see some similar in bottom, so rock structure. Editing could be done in original size, but i live simbioze of colors and its good quality. --Mile (talk) 11:09, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
