Grey seals and pup[edit]

Grey seals seen near Dunvegan Castle, on the Isle of Skye, Scotland
Reason
Again, I'm not a photographer, but in this shot, I think I got lucky. Everything seems reasonably crisp, I think... Well, I know engravings. I don't really know photographs. See what you think. Vanished user talk 23:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose It's not very... interesting. 8thstar 21:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: Nice snap but wrt FP, the pic has a very distracting background. In the thumb view, most of the seal's features meshes into the background. In the full view, there is still issues. --Kalyan 11:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose a good shot to be sure, although i do not think that this is "among wikipedias best work", sorry --Hadseys 11:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose because their should be more focus on the seal and less on everything else (basically a different, narrower composition). Zakolantern 16:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Kalyan and Zakolantern. Perhaps a tighter crop could help. Spikebrennan 19:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn by Nominator: I can crop this tighter and get two good images out of it, but I'd fall below the minimal size. Oh, well. Vanished user talk 13:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
