  • Oppose To me there's just way too much going on, it's a bit of a mass of colours and from thumbnail view it's really not clear at all. The quality also isn't up to what I'd expect. I understand it's underwater but I sill feel we could do much better. JFitch (talk) 09:50, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The background is a coral reef I believe, but did seeing the pic interest you and make you want to find out more? --I'ḏOne 13:25, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose. Sorry, I have to agree with JFitch. J Milburn (talk) 10:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The quality, background and sharpness just isn't up to snuff. — raekyt 13:59, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Busy composition makes it hard to discern the subject matter in the size as placed in the article. Greg L (talk) 19:15, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above Hive001 contact 17:34, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
