Support Is that a bonus spider in the lower right? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:50, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sharp eye; seems to be an European garden spider --Llez (talk) 11:02, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Will support if there is an alt version that is more cropped on the bottom. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 22:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I didn't crop more because I think the color of the rusty pillar goes well with the color of the seagull's beak --Llez (talk) 07:08, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support I support Llez's opinion that the rusty pillar should not be cropped more because its colors match with the bird. -- Pofka (talk) 12:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support I'm supporting because it is a good portrait with good light and processing, but detail could be higher, specially after looking in the current FP category. Apart from that the shot is easier than in flight and the bird is very common. Poco a poco (talk) 12:50, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Llez: Great shot, though I think this may be L. michahellis (the closely related yellow-legged gull) rather than L. argentatus, which has pinker legs? — Rhododendrites ^talk | 17:40, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will check it by time (and eventually rename the file after the nomination is finished). The distribution area of L. michahellis is mainly the Mediterranean area, the photo was taken in Bremerhaven. It does not breed on the North Sea coast, the photo was taken on July 2nd, when young are being reared. This would be an argument against L.m.. But I will check. --Llez (talk) 19:05, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It is very nicely taken, with nice colours, but I think we need the feet for FP of this common bird. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:25, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Llez: I think you went overboard when correcting the highlights, and now the image is too dark. The bird's feathers should be bright white, so make sure you have some RGB values of at least 250. It's OK to have a few speckles (no large patches) that gracefully clip at 255. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
