81:, because of the messy background, it lessens encyclopedicity (esp. in thumb size). I know it's the natural habitat, but the dark bg behid the dark beak and the light water behind the light belly is just the wrong way around... --

echoing everyone else, it's a wonderful photo of the bird but with far too distracting a background. I'm not sure whether someone competent with
Photoshop could clean it up at all but for now I definitely oppose. -
97:
too. I agree with Janke, despite it being the natural habitat, the composition is a bit messy. At full size, it looks a bit better but it just doesn't stand out (both the bird and the image).
150:. The subject itself is very clear, but as others have mentioned, the background hurts the image; I'm just not sure how much it hurts, so I don't know where to stand on this one. --
178:
I don't think the background is too distracting; the bird looks great though. I guess if anyone has any real problems with this background, he should imagine it's camouflage. ;-)
166:. I think the background looks fine, and the focus on the subject is solid. The composition is bound to be a bit messy with that kind of scenery, but it's a very good photo. --
261:
60:. It's a very good picture, but the shallow depth of field, the other Dowitcher in the background, and the very white water are slightly take off from it.
