  • Delist After that image that was taken by me, user OhanaUnited, I took few better IMO images of the same subject. The one is nominated to get FP status above. The second one, which I like better, if of course user OhanaUnited will allow to me like one of my own images better than the other one of my own images, is this one . It is of a higher resolution and IMO the background is better than in current FP. Please do not worry, if this current FP get delisted and a new one does not get promoted. After all FP is represented by quite a few images of the same common insects and two almost identicla images of Hong Kong, which IMO will compensate for not having an image of an endangered green turtle taken in their natural habitat. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I simply disagree that the newly nominated image is of higher quality (despite being shot with a better camera), and this one still meets the FP criteria. In terms of composition, it's no contest; this is by far the better shot.--ragesoss (talk) 18:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per ragesoss. This has much better composition and is simply much nicer to look at, particularly because the whole shell is underwater and visible! Once again, no contest. Intothewoods29 (talk) 16:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The encyclopedic angle of this picture is soo much better than the current FP nomination. The candidate looks like a snapshot with the subject cut off. This one meets criteria perfectly by today's standards. victorrocha (talk) 19:34, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree that it is much better than the current nomination.--Avala (talk) 20:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per victorrocha. Let's say these both images are printed on an encyclopedia with the same dimension, I would say that this delisting candidate is better. --Base64 (talk) 23:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The new candidate is not better, and at any rate, the fact that there is another candidate of the same subject is not a valid reason to delist this one. Clegs (talk) 15:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
