Oppose Good image, but colors of background and the jallyfish are too close. --Karelj 16:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support The subject is really unusual and I like the sharpness and the focus on the texture of the jellyfish. --Taraxacum 10:46, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support DOF could be a bit smaller to be perfect, but overall quality does it for me. And I like the colours. --norro 16:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Karelj. Barabas

Support!IMO it is not scary to loose ability to surprise, but it is scary to loose ability to get surprised.--Mbz1 18:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very delicate and surprising --B.navez 18:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I must, since this is (or looks like) a Portuguese Man-of-war. The image is not clean but I suppose that is inevitable under the circunstances (and emphasized by the huge resolution). Was it taken from outside or inside the pool? -- Alvesgaspar 19:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a Portuguese Man-of-war (they are not jellyfish but a siphonophore). These jellyfish were washing up on the shore by the hundreds. Some ended up in rock pools. The picture was taken from above the water surface, trying as much as possible to avoid reflections. Lycaon 20:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
