Oppose Touching moment, but the detail on the birds is not nearly good enough for FP IMO. w.carter-Talk 19:18, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I think this photo is beautiful. The overall composition is super, in my opinion, including the textures of the rocks and the amount of land vs ocean. I love the way the mother is looking at her child and that you captured a moment when the young gull had its wings open, and I think both gulls are clear enough, given that the photo is about this moment, not a closeup exemplary portrait of a gull showing all its individual feathers. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need to count feathers here either, I would have settled for a sufficiently sharp head and beak on Mama. w.carter-Talk 21:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I totally understand. In context, they're clear enough for me and not for you. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:21, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per W. carter; also the color seems washed out (may not be the photographer's fault, I know). Daniel Case (talk) 05:02, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
