- Question Where is the bird and what kind of fish is it eating? (Nice snap otherwise.)— Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talk • contribs) 16:57, 4 June 2013
- I can't comment on the fish, but the image is pretty clearly geotagged on the description page (apparently this specimen is in Montréal). Also please sign your comments :) Cowtowner (talk) 17:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

- Support Good EV for the behaviour section, and certainly has enough drama in it to make the reader want to know more. --ELEKHHT 09:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- Support Very good. Would be nice to know the fish species though. Biopics (talk) 10:59, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- Neutral One of my favorite birds. I'm on the fence between neutral and very weak support. The image doesn't show one of the parts of the heron, which the article disappointingly refers to: "Two or three long white plumes, erected in greeting and courtship displays, extend from the back of the head". I would have assumed this piece of anatomy would have an official name. I also find the image really dark and contrasty. I would support if the darks were lightened up a bit. It's a striking image, but those two things make me neutral. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 18:04, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- How about the alt version I have just put up.--BNK(talk) 04:45, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
- No, I don't think that helped at all—and it's not going to bring the courtship plumes in frame unfortunately :) Sorry, I can't support. But not a bad picture. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 03:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- Support Thanks for this nomination Nikhilb239 --Acarpentier (talk) 04:49, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
- Support original only; weak oppose alt Colours seem unnatural in the alt, although not excessively so. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:58, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
