•  Support Unlike another similar nomination some time before this one looks better. The colors do have something to say - it's not only grey. --Aktron (talk) 10:59, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose artefacts in the background. --Herrick (talk) 14:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

•  Support --Simonizer (talk) 11:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Support No wow for an easy shot ("the most abundant and best known of all gulls along the shores of Asia, western Europe, and North America"). But meets the rest of the criteria otherwise. Noodle snacks (talk) 19:26, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not spectacular. JalalV (talk) 04:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very good photo, but nothing special to qualify it for FP. In my opinion, fits perfectly in <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Quality_images> (Varcos (talk) 09:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC))
•  Oppose It says nothing to me. A302b (talk) 10:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose It's a very good shot, but also very easy, so nothing very extraordinary... sorry. Benh (talk) 22:29, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

• I agree it is not the most difficult shot (though they do tend to fly away you know), but so aren't the countless FP's of buildings (that even don't tend to fly away) ;-). Lycaon (talk) 22:54, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Of all the birds, seagulls are probably the easiest to photograph, and one can get to 2-3 feet away from them. A little bait and they walk right into the camera. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Definitely FP worthy in my view. Why the sudden concern about how "easy" a shot this is, without reference to the image quality itself? --MichaelMaggs (talk) 07:41, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
