Common seal [edit]

I was asked to nominate this image by cele4. I also think it's a wonderful image; clear, certainly large enough and very illustrative. It appears in the Common Seal article and was taken by cele4.

Nominate and support. - Raven4x4x 00:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure that being cuddly is going to help this little bugger through the process. Do you by any chance have an image with it looking straight into the camera or one which shows him entirely from head to tail? - Mgm|^(talk) 14:04, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've asked Cele4 to respond to your question. Raven4x4x 07:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Here's a new version from Cele. I'll gladly support this one as well. Raven4x4x 09:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I'd be happy to support the second image in the voting period. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I kind of like the first one better, but I'll support both versions. Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support either. Extraordinary detail. Enochlau 13:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support either. Good shot. Durova 19:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support first image. The seal in the second image is not centered properly. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support both - ZeWrestler ^Talk 05:28, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
( + ) Support either of the closeups. Uploaded an edit which is lighter --Fir0002 08:52, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose because of the background, unfortunately. It's too visible it comes from a zoo. In that respect, the close-up is better though. --Bernard Helmstetter 13:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If it means anything, I didn't even notice that it was a zoo, especially in the first image. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Seen better, seen cuter. --Janke | Talk 07:59, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
User:Kilo-Lima/Support I love them both! --Kilo-Lima 16:22, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, there are much better seal pictures. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 05:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted . I'm slightly unconfortable promoting an image I nominated, but as I nominated it on request from cele4 I think it's alright. Raven4x4x 04:06, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
