Support Love it! I tried so many tines to get a good shot of these little guys an I know how difficult they are! --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:15, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"tines"? You should use a camera, not a fork!

Not so difficult: we already have two specimen of this species, and this third is to come... Is it something wrong in FPC page ? I tend to think so...--Jebulon (talk) 19:36, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Perhaps others can have a look, but it appears to me that the background is not natural and has been extensively digitally processed. Charles (talk) 16:52, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Charles: I brightened the image but did not apply any digitally processing at all. To swear! :) --Laitche (talk) 18:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

* Sorry for suggesting it. Apologies. Charles (talk) 19:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The backgroud is green water and grasses and autumn tints plus reflection of these

heartbroken oppose I was about to support, but after having a look at the two existing FP of this species (1, 2), I can't really justify that anymore. In my opinion, they both look sharper, have a smoother background, better lighting, and a nicer pose. It's not that this picture is bad, it's just that I feel it's not completely on par with its (very tough) competition. Sorry 'bout that … --El Grafo (talk) 11:47, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @El Grafo: This photo can ease your heart? --Laitche (talk) 16:24, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree, the others are much finer. Charles (talk) 15:17, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose FP is the "top of the top", the "cream of the cream" of "Commons". We already have two FP of this specimen, and this third is not as good as the others previously promoted.--Jebulon (talk) 19:43, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
