Lace monitor, Varanus varius, up a tree

Reason: Quite a striking illustration of the length of this animal. Yes part of the tail is partially obscured by some leaves which were in the way, but there wasn' much I could do about it and it doesn't detract much IMO. Good quality + good EV

Oppose Most of it is obscured and the angle isn't very illustrative. Compare to [1] or [2]. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:22, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I think the fact that's significantly obscured behind the tree is enough. Many of the other images in the gallery of the article show that a better view of a Lace Monitor up a tree is quite possible. They're not as good technically, but they're better compositionally IMO. We should expect both good technicals and a good illustrative view of the animal. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 20:58, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Noodle snacks and Diliff. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The bottom 1/3 or so is obscured by green bluriness. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:35, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It's not hard to get a better illustration than this cut off image. Mostlyharmless (talk) 09:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
