Lizaed fish
It is like a blurred background for any macro shot. The subject of the image is a fish. Besides there is something more in the image. Did you see it?--Mbz1 (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Was it trivial to id?
I recommend categorizing to and creating Category:Synodus binotatus as a subcategory to Category:Synodus.
A good illustration of camouflage. I have tried underwater photography a little myself and I have learned that it is not at all easy to get good technical quality. But even then I think the image quality is not good enough for FP, especially concerning sharpness of the subject and (color) noise.
Has it been color corrected a lot? It seems too red or perhaps a little oversaturated IMO.
Concerning the quiz, I did not find something clearly identifiable besides the fish, although that big, blurry, pinkish something in the upper left corner looks a bit odd. I have no idea if that is what you are hinting at, nor what it could possible be.... --Slaunger (talk) 22:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please try again to find something extra at the image. It cannot be mistaken with anything. About ID. I knew it was a lizard fish, but I was not sure which one. So I went to this site and looks like mine is Synodus binotatus, but they say it is hard to ID. --Mbz1 (talk) 23:40, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that the fish has a visual appearance, which resembles very well photos I can find of the two-spot lizard fish (S. binotatus), without being able to rule out that it could be another species. Don't you think you should modify the identification to probably Synodus binotatus on the file page and categorize it to Category:Synodus (or a new "Unidentified..." subcategory) to be on the safe side? Regarding the ongoing quiz: I give up . --Slaunger (talk) 22:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I asked about ID of this fish at the diving forum I am posting sometimes. So far nobody has responded yet, but I hope they will eventually. The second fish is in the lower part of the image. The eyes are seen clearly and cannot be mistaken with pebbles. Do not give up. --Mbz1 (talk) 23:04, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is that an eye on the top right of that "big, blurry, pinkish something in the upper left corner"? bamse (talk) 00:11, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not an eye in the place you see pointed out to, but you got really close to the correct answer. Please try again. The thing you need to locate are about the same size of the thing you pointed out to.--Mbz1 (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hint- the thing you need to find is located in the lower part of the image.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:56, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Even if I'm not able to take such a picture, I think it is not sharp enough for a FP, sorry.
I put some annotations about the little game. Not sure...--Jebulon (talk) 11:08, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, wrong again. I am talking about the quiz --Mbz1 (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a hint. It is a fish. You could see only it eyes and the head. Everything else is under the sand, but both eyes are seen clearly and cannot be mistaken with the pebbles. The head is not seen very clearly, but when you'll find the eyes, you will see the head :)--Mbz1 (talk) 22:57, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found it! I put a note on it. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you did! congratulations! Now I could go ahead and  --Mbz1 (talk) 00:31, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
