Oppose. Mostly because of the noise, but also because the species isn't identified. --Tewy 20:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Nasty artifacts/noise. --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose cute seal but the image has too much noise and other problems. — Arjun 23:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Have a look at the largest version, the grain/noise/colouration are not FP quality - Adrian Pingstone 23:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The chest looks like someone scanned a piece of cheap carpet and edited it in. Artifacts are over-the-top. Very cute seal though, and I like the frothy water --⁪froth^{T C} 05:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose; that's an excellent position to shoot a seal (I mean, even the seal looks like it's smiling). Unfortunately, in full view, picture fragmentation is in the thousands. Also, it appears that this image has minor problems with copyright. -- Alt iris Exeunt 06:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
oppose per above. Let's try to keep the snarky and potentially offensive comments to a minimum. Debivort 07:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose I really just don't like the picture of the seal. A better one can be found easily. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 08:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all above. —sd31415 (sign here) 15:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Awwwww, cute seal! However, the pic is way to grainy, with the lots of artifacts. Very nice pic otherwise. Is there a cleaner version perchance? Jumping cheese^Cont@ct 12:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. grain. info not really detailed. -m w 00:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is it me or does this pic look like its godzilla seal or something??? Damn those man eating seals!! Oh and oppose. --Tobyw87 12:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, it's the angle. --Tewy 20:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
