Oppose Poor lighting and composition. Can't see any detail on the sea lions themselves.Nnfolz 22:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose by nnfolz, lighting is too harsh, environment too artificial. Sorry, looks rather like a tourist snapshot. --Dschwen 06:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Stylistically and technically it has some problems, but the content I think is good. It doesn't matter if the environment is "too artificial" because its a picture of one of San Francisco's most famous (though certainly not the most famous) tourist attractions. Anyway, these are wild animals behaving as they do in the wild choosing to sun themselves here without being baited, what’s artificial about that? I say a shot like this with a little better composition and a lot less glare would make a great FPC.--Niro5 13:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nice subject, encyclopedic, but the technical issues preclude me from supporting this. Specifically the underexposed shadows and the glare off the animals. HighInBC 15:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
