Reason: High quality flight bird of this subtlety attractive seabird. The Southern Fulmar breeds on the coast of Antarctica, moving north during the winter months. We only have a couple of images on Commons for this species.

Support as nominator --JJ Harrison (talk) 04:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A bit unsharp and noisy at full res, but flying birds aren't easy subjects. Nice isolation from the background, with wing patterns shown nicely. But I like your picture in the article's infobox even more - is there a reason you chose to nominate this one instead? --Avenue (talk) 22:08, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Outside breeding season, this bird would usually be seen at sea. This shot shows the flight plumage, and is therefore quite arguably more useful for identification. I don't think nominating this one necessarily excludes the other though. Also, pixel peeping aside, I think this is a more interesting photo. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the wing pattern, good EV, reasonable clarity. Pine^✉ 06:35, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. Agree with Avenue, a bit soft and noisy, but nice at smaller sizes. Also agree with Avenue about taxobox image, which I would full support as an Alt. --jjron (talk) 17:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
