Lionfish Closeup

Another difficult to get fish shot from the Melbourne Aquarium. Shows the fish's head in great detail and has no real quality issues.

Oppose. I don't see it in the fish head article... ;-) Seriously, I'd like to see all of the very interesting looking fish, the cropping seriously hurts the enc. ("enc" is an abbreviation for "encyclopedicity" I'll be using in the future.) --Janke | Talk 06:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfotunately he swam too close to the glass and that was the only shot I got, I guess I'll have another go some other time if people aren't happy with the close up. Btw nice idea on the enc! --Fir0002 06:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Fir, for me this picture is not at your usual standard. The back end of the fish is too blurred (therefore I think it does have a quality issue) and the cut off is annoying, making me wonder what its tail looks like - Adrian Pingstone 08:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. The full fish looks like this . Well, I suppose Fir's picture makes you want to know more... ;-). But it is a shame that the other pic of the entire fish taken in its natural habitat was pushed down into a gallery section. --Dschwen 10:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree with that. So, I put the whole fish back on top, and the head into the gallery. IMO, the most enc image should be the first in an article. --Janke | Talk 07:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I would prefer to see the whole fish. Better this one: . Alvesgaspar 11:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
oppose - same reasons as above, not a good display of the lionfish's most notable attributes, and natural habitat is blurred. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria 13:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose too bad you couldn't get the whole fish. --Bridgecross 14:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support That is one weird looking fish - Puma5d04 05:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose I think that the image of the full fish is FP worthy though. Mike 22:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. Enc suffers in this one, and the sharpness just can't make up for it. --Tewy 04:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
