Info All by me. -- Hockei (talk) 13:51, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Support -- Hockei (talk) 13:51, 20 November 2015 (UTC)- Support Really good photo, but little contrast, here probably unavoidable. --Tremonist (talk) 14:32, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Oppose Hard to see the subject. The other photos you took are better on that aspect, though possibly overall quality isn't at FP. -- Colin (talk) 18:27, 20 November 2015 (UTC)- Support "hard to see" is very good in biological images. We see the camouflage of the animal in natural environment. --Ralf Roleček 23:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Colin. The point of the image is to show us the spider. If it shows a bit of its natural environment, great, but I'm not going to grant it an exemption from the FP criteria on those grounds if it also makes it harder to pick out the spider.

- Info Just to give to consideration (Not in order to discuss about). This also is a rule: "... A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph."

- I think you should consider nominating File:2015.07.02.-03-Schwarzbach Doberschuetz--Wolfspinne-Pardosa lugubris s. str.-Weibchen.jpg (not as an alt, though). It shows the camouflage colours well while still enabling the subject to be visible. Unless the point of a photograph is to demonstrate camouflage, then having an unclear subject is a disadvantage. -- Colin (talk) 10:12, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Then this one is better (no green leave). Regards, Yann (talk) 12:50, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
Comment So I'll nominate another one of these three pictures too. Anyway, for me the composition of this here is much better. And I cannot comprehend why you do not see the spider clear apart from the environment / background. Maybe it is why I have a different colour perception. --Hockei (talk) 08:34, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

- Weak Oppose due to the combination of not quite excellent sharpness and the distracting immediate surroundings of the animal. — Julian H.✈ 21:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Not FP for me. Too soft and limited DoF - and it's too far away.Charles (talk) 23:21, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Nevertheless I like it, especially more than the other pictures of this spider they have not the necessary composition to be excellent in my opinion. Thanks. --Hockei (talk) 17:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
