  • 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.
