Original – Chromodoris lochiis a colorful dorid nudibranch that feeds on sponges and lives in the Indo-Pacific.

Reason

I believe that this species has the encyclopedic value and will introduce people to the lesser known type of creature. And also the image is of great quality

• Oppose. The out-of-focus slug on the left is too distracting for me. I actually prefer this image, also by the same photographer. —Bruce1ee^talk 05:00, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

• I feel like that one doesnt give as much as an accurate representation as it is twisted and the head looks a little out of focus Bruce1ee. I actually like the blurry one in the background because its silhouette shows the way they stand up off of the coral. I can crop it out though of course. Tomorrow Ill probably provide a cropped version you can take a look at. Thanks Tortle (talk) 05:17, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

• A crop may work, but another issue is that the top- and bottom-crop of the main subject is a little on the tight side, compared to this image. —Bruce1ee^talk 05:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

• I prefer the image Bruce1ee has linked as well; do you want to add it as an ALT, Tortle? Belle (talk) 13:12, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

• Support The contrast sharp/unsharp is very appealing. Gives it an artistic look. --Tremonist (talk) 12:17, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose, for an encyclopaedia, I don't think the image should be half completely out of focus. In addition, the in focus section is less than 750px, which is below our minimum. Mattximus (talk) 03:19, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
