[edit] Dead Leaf Mantis Camouglage

A "dead leaf mantis."
A "dead leaf mantis."

We already had a FP of camouflage a year ago or so, but I stumbled upon this one by Adrian Pingstone. It does have some problems with it, like blurriness, but I think it'd make a nice image if it got touched up a bit.

  • Comment, doesn't look too bad, though I don't think nominations shouuld be made with the intention of someone touching them up. Phoenix2 20:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, I didn't really think it was at FP quality the way it was, so I wanted to make it clear that I think someone should touch it up. - JPM | 22:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
      • In that case, oppose, messy in too many ways. Phoenix2 00:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose A bit too messy, and what appears to be an endemic problem: tail end cut off, lessening the encyclopedic value... --Janke | Talk 21:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. It's an OK picture, not FP quality, though. Too messy is right. --J@red [T]/[+] 16:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Decent, but not special. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 21:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose The background has to be messy or how would the astonishing camouflage be demonstrated? But I don't think it's a suitable FPC candidate (I took it!) - Adrian Pingstone 16:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Too messy and confusing. Alvinrune TALK 22:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Very messy. Hard to figure out what you are looking at. Canuck89 08:39, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
