- Oppose. I know it was probably done because of the "rule of thirds" thing, but I would strongly prefer a tighter crop on this particular image. I find the extensive blurry background on the left side of the image to be distracting without adding anything at all aesthetically.

- I completely disagree. It's not all about the rule of thirds, but also lead room. Aesthetically, the current crop gives the impression of the puffin looking out to sea. If it were cropped, we would instead have the impression of the puffin looking at the edge of a frame- much less visually interesting. The wide crop also serves to give an excellent impression of the puffin's natural habitat; upon a small piece of land on a cliff, next to the sea. J Milburn ( talk) 17:00, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
