•  Info Not a species photo, but rather a nice piece of the beach/shoreline at Brofjorden and the things you can find there. -- Cart (talk) 17:46, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Support -- Cart (talk) 17:46, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Dull light and the background is not sharp enough -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:57, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Re background, it's under water so you can't get the same DoF and properties you can in air. --Cart (talk) 09:12, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
•  Comment Although the other pictures you took are not FP, they did show tentacles which is crucial for any jellyfish photo. Charles (talk) 09:44, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Species-wise, you are right, but that was not the primary intention here. I went for pure composition and in such case the perfect round shape of the jellyfish complements the wrack better. There was a small purple starfish about as well ( can be seen top left in this photo) but it refused to be in frame at the same time as the jellyfish. :) For me there is an additional wow that the water so clear, it is possible to shoot these things in their natural habitat and not just in an aquarium. --Cart (talk) 10:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Certainly clear. But very cold when I was taken swimming every morning at Bovallstrand in June! Charles (talk) 12:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• Even colder now in October. ;) The cold also inhibits the growth of some of the algae that can make the water murky, so better for photography. --Cart (talk) 12:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

•  Regretful oppose I like the idea, sort of makes you think it's a flower on land until you look closely, but unfortunately it's noisy. Daniel Case (talk) 16:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination Might as well. --Cart (talk) 20:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
