- Why not have a look at Wikipedia:Featured pictures and you will see that FPs do not have to of entire bodies of animals or people. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:26, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Most of them have full body pictures. I expect species should be identified properly in FP. Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds, Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Mammals, Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Reptiles. Marvellous Spider-Man 00:54, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

- Because that image, also taken by me, was not voted FP on Commons, whereas the one I have nominated was. Naturally I think both are excellent! Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

- Support. Nice colours and bokeh. Do you know the gender? I would've assumed it's male because of its bright colours, but the article says both sexes have similar colours. —Bruce1eetalk 13:29, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

- Support per extensive precedent and this being a good quality image on its own. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I'm mystified as to the voting patterns for FP, but this is too boring for me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:04, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- How are you mystified by it? Janke !voted as I'd expect, given a history of putting greater emphasis on aesthetics and technical quality than pure encyclopedic value. I am a more documentarian photographer myself, and I have a history of nominating files such as this, so my support shouldn't be surprising. Matt's also tended to emphasize EV over pure aesthetics in his voting history. The current !voter pool is quite small, but most people are relatively predictable. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- I was mystified that my woodpecker and weaver were ignored. Both added to the articles and the weaver particularly has high EV. So I cannot see how this photo has greater merit. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:53, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- If you're talking about the lack of commentary, En-Wiki's FPC is in the middle of a six or seven month dry spell, and many of the most frequent contributors are retired or semi-retired. With the small !voter pool that's left, it doesn't take much for two or three people to be too busy to check in a certain time frame and thus stall a nomination. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
- Support - Excellent EV. This is a perfect encyclopedic photograph of the object in question. Remember this is not wikicommons, these pictures are meant to inform, not to wow. Mattximus (talk) 02:27, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

- Support - Like the other Evan-Amos FPs, this one is of high technical quality and is very helpful for illustrating the subject in articles. I almost wish that someone (ideally him) would just nominate most/all of his stuff, one by one, since they're all of consistently high quality and usefulness. --PresN 14:41, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Because I think this is a great diagram and it just needs a small correction to get my total support!" "Oppose" makes it seem to me that you oppose the nomination.

- Comment – The unidentified bright area on the top left of Vitellus is large enough and pronounced enough to be a distinct feature on its own. If it is just a visual aid, it is too pronounced. imo. Bammesk (talk) 01:09, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- Indeed, now it looks like another air pocket. --Janke | Talk 15:45, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

- Support – though I prefer a somewhat brighter (less contrasty) embryo, also it may be better if the Vitellus label-line was angled and didn't go through the air pocket, just saying. Bammesk (talk) 02:07, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

This is exactly the kind of thing I would never have noticed myself but which should have been done, and without your comment, would never have taken place (probably). So my thanks, again, for that!

My Canon 70D does have a built in low light 4-shot burst mode which is processed in the camera, but for hand-held macro work there is too much movement. I've tried many burst options, but none work!

- @Charlesjsharp: Admittedly, I'm coming back after a six-month absence, but historically, being further down hasn't been a problem as long as the image is significant to or in some way uniquely illustrates the subject. Take Aida (opera), which has - if I'm counting right - five separate featured pictures, each illustrating a different aspect. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- I've never expressed such a view. Mind, the headshot is great in this case, but unless we get a bigger version it's not FP-able. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- It was the comments (not yours Chris) on this candidate that prompted my comment. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Josh was talking about the use of the image in a gallery; that's quite a bit different than having running text illustrated by an image. Use in galleries tends not to be considered enough EV for FP. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

- How old were programmers in this era? I would be surprised if 33 wasn't a common age. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure, but to be a team leader for an important part of a flagship national project in a major (and rather hierarchical) agency it seems pretty young, especially for a woman in the 1960s. Nick-D (talk) 23:30, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

- Comment: I feel that this could be a little better contextualised (what are we looking at here? Who created the original work? How old is it?) and perhaps a better explanation could be given concerning what the image adds to the article; the article is very heavily illustrated, and I worry that this is just another gallery image.

May I also respectfully suggest that you review this link to save some time as it may help address some of your questions. There are also comments from experienced u/w divers commenting there. May I also add that I've taught u/w photography for many years (as an advanced open water & NITROX instructor for both NAUI and SSI), if that even matters? Another option is to research Google Images for "longnose batfish" and compare. Atsme📞📧 18:41, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert in modern photos, but my impressions are: A. it looks very good, but, B. it's a little on the small size for such photographs. This apparently isn't a particularly small animal, so I'd have liked it a bit bigger, but underwater photography is very challenging, so I'm inclined to
Weak support. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:56, 14 June 2017 (UTC)- Adam, this particular baitfish was about 2 or 3 inches from nose to tail, and that's a rough estimate considering things appear 33% larger/closer underwater. Atsme📞📧 03:18, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- (Caveat: I am a notorious perpetrator of "swim-by shooting" photography - I record presence of organisms at a reef, without much concern about artistic value.) That said, I would be delighted to get a photo like this. Educational value is definitely high. Photo quality looks good to me - detail is clear and useful for identification purposes. I will ping Seascapeza, who is a better photographer and fairly expert on marine animals for a further opinion. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:11, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Atsme: Ah, the max size is a lot bigger for this species, which is what I was judging by. In that case, change to Support Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:03, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

CommentOppose – I've never been a fan of these retrospective what-if-they-all-were-there hagiographic paintings, common in the 19th century. Due to their idealized, fanciful style, their EV is minimal. Sca (talk) 14:35, 13 June 2017 (UTC)- While I do think them valuable, this one is neither on the artist's page, nor does it have its own article. I think that it needs the context of its own article to add enough EV. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:17, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Unless fabriqant made false Penne. I dont think you two are qualified for here. Thats problem for Wikipedia. --Mile (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
