- Mild Oppose - Nice photo, but for FP, the crop feels arbitrary to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:14, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice idea, but the whole thing actually seems a bit, well, ordinary for me. If you are arranging apples in a stict pattern, go all in for a wow factor: turn them so they are arranged in size or shape as well, make all stalks point in the same direction or something like that. The water drops on them also detracts from their surface, totally unnecessary, may look good on a single apple or a basket of them but not here. w.carter-Talk 21:59, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral I won't oppose, but W.carter's oppose rationale is just too convincing for me to keep my support up. INeverCry 22:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral, I am not bothered by the water drops and the photographer may not have had control over the arrangement of the apples, but I do think a tighter crop might bring out the appley goodness here even better. Daniel Case (talk) 04:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- To clarify, I agree that these apples may not be under the photographer's control, but we have previously expected folks here to do better pics of gulls since they are so common. Well, apples are even more common and much easier to handle than gulls. w.carter-Talk 07:51, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yep. They don't fly away! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:17, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- I was thinking more along the lines that they don't try to stab you with their beaks or shit on you... ;) w.carter-Talk 12:12, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- You've had gulls try to physically attack you? I guess the gulls in the U.S. are a little less aggressive. In my experience, they're only interested in stealing your food! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- Living in a seaside town I know them for the devious monsters they are. I'm not the only one. Each year here the media is full of reported gull attacks. Google "måsattack" (Swedish for gull attack) and you'll see. w.carter-Talk 21:52, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- I understand. They're protecting their nest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:04, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
