Support Because Nicolas insisted to have me nominating this one before I take a little break :) A unique moment ! -- Benh (talk) 22:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Quality on the seagull not that great, good shot of the scat though. P.S. Before you say it's not easy to take this shot, you haven't spend enough time under seagulls. Aerial bombardment is right. I narrowly escaped a whole squadron unloading 30 feet away from me one day. There is even a whole flickr group dedicated to the phenomena of defecating birds. --Dori - Talk01:25, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thanks for pointing out that this is not a unique subject, but IMO, this is better quality than at least the majority of the photos in that flickr group. Very illustrative angle here, and perfect lighting to emphasize the rear quarters where the action is happening. This shot, in its class, is downright amazing. --Specious (talk) 04:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes of course the quality of the picture (especially the seagull) is not great. But, as says specious, none of the pictures on this flickr group is better than mine IMO (I opened each one full size ;-)). And I think I was only lucky to take this shot: over about 400 pictures, only one of a defecating seagull and with a good quality!!!! -- sanchezn (talk) 18:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree. Your picture is far way better than any picture on that flickr group. You had luck to get moment like this, but hey, that just makes this picture more valuable. Someone might spend hours under "whole squadron unloading" and not get anything even close to this. --Lošmi (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
