Oppose "it's just a fish" Darkone 11:12, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not just a fish: it is an anadromous fish that is quite rare these days. The picture moreover, shows many diagnostic characteristics, making it an ideal image for illustration of articles about the Twaid shad. Rarity of an image should imo also play a role in choosing FPCs. I do agree about 'not sharp enough' though. My pictures are all taken at sea... -- Lycaon 16:53, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Havn't you seen the quotation marks? Please think about it. -- aka 19:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - too many signs of damage by the catching process (torn fin, displaced scales: inevitable, or not?) so it doesn't look life-like - MPF 16:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
