[edit] Lionfish Closeup

Lionfish, Melbourne Aquarium
Lionfish, Melbourne Aquarium

Another difficult to get fish shot from the Melbourne Aquarium. Shows the fish's head in great detail and has no real quality issues.

  • Oppose. I don't see it in the fish head article... ;-) Seriously, I'd like to see all of the very interesting looking fish, the cropping seriously hurts the enc. ("enc" is an abbreviation for "encyclopedicity" I'll be using in the future.) --Janke | Talk 06:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Unfotunately he swam too close to the glass and that was the only shot I got, I guess I'll have another go some other time if people aren't happy with the close up. Btw nice idea on the enc! --Fir0002 06:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Fir, for me this picture is not at your usual standard. The back end of the fish is too blurred (therefore I think it does have a quality issue) and the cut off is annoying, making me wonder what its tail looks like - Adrian Pingstone 08:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. The full fish looks like this . Well, I suppose Fir's picture makes you want to know more... ;-). But it is a shame that the other pic of the entire fish taken in its natural habitat was pushed down into a gallery section. --Dschwen 10:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
I absolutely agree with that. So, I put the whole fish back on top, and the head into the gallery. IMO, the most enc image should be the first in an article. --Janke | Talk 07:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose I would prefer to see the whole fish. Better this one: . Alvesgaspar 11:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • oppose - same reasons as above, not a good display of the lionfish's most notable attributes, and natural habitat is blurred. -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 13:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose too bad you couldn't get the whole fish. --Bridgecross 14:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support That is one weird looking fish - Puma5d04 05:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose I think that the image of the full fish is FP worthy though. Mike 22:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose. Enc suffers in this one, and the sharpness just can't make up for it. --Tewy 04:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
