Info Ok, maybe not the aquarium-perfect seascape we see further south, but millions of small creatures live in these underwater forests on the steep slopes of Gullmarn fjord marine nature reserve. Shot on a clear sunny day with the blue sky reflecting on the water, I think it looks intriguing. -- Cart (talk) 08:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support fascinating interplay of shapes and colors. The aspect ratio is a little bit odd, though --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Not perfect, but quite interesting. Cmao20 (talk) 17:33, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Colorful but uninteresting for me, and messy composition with indistinct elements -- Basile Morin (talk) 19:05, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Delightfully hallucinatory; the sort of image you want surrounding you while you listen to ambient music. Daniel Case (talk) 03:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Basile – Lucas 18:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not compelling imo. And I can't see the value. —kallerna (talk) 04:34, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kallerna, per Podzemnik's comment below, I suggest you read the FPC rules more carefully. This is not Wikipedia. Even so, this photo (one of a pair), are the only ones we have showing Chorda filum as it grows naturally in the sea. You can clearly see the hairy structure of the cords, something that is totally lost in all the other photos. I'd call that valuable in an encyclopedic way. --Cart (talk) 15:10, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the guidance. My main reason was not the second sentence, but the first. —kallerna (talk) 05:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It was not the kind of shot I undoubtly see as FP, but your last FP of this item was probably more interesting in terms of colors and compo, this one is not as interesting IMHO Poc o² 15:53, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I've looked at this photo quite a few times, and my feeling is that it has an overwhelming movement to the lower right and no sufficient countervailing movement, so I find the form unsatisfying. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:53, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
