• Comment Isn't File:Oyster catcher by Dan Pancamo.jpg more encyclopaedic? Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:53, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

• No. It's not sharp and shows the same thing (minus the chick). If you are asking "compositionally better"? That's subjective. I am Ok with either composition. Others can agree or disagree. Bammesk (talk) 04:03, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
