- Comment: looks slightly overexposed. Or is that just me? Clegs (talk) 10:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose -- Slightly overexposed, and I'm not into how that bird jumps out at you from the background. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:03, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose overexposed and the out-of-focus grass at the lower end is a bit distracting. Sanyambahga (talk) 17:00, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Support Looks great to me, I think it has improved the article substantially. TehGrauniad (talk) 11:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose The motion blur isn't necessarily a bad thing, but between that and the slight overexposure, at high resolution it looks a bit messy. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 19:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose. The in-focus and out-of-focus "zones" in the grass are a bit distracting, sorry. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:09, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
