•  Oppose Nicely photographed and well executed image, but I personally believe that in order for us to fully be able to appreciate its value it needs to be put in its natural environment or a zoo enclosure mimicking that environment. If that animal lives and sleeps on white sheets of cardboard, I'll consider supporting :), but other than that I'll have to oppose. Freedom to share 23:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

• Per Jnpet I withdraw my oppose. If they are too difficult to photograph in their natural habitat, I cannot oppose. Freedom to share 20:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose Though properly masked creatures can have their uses, in this case the cutting out was poorly done. Additionally, I have doubts about the two individuals being of the same species (G. atlanticus and G. marginatus??). And lastly, there is rather a bit of noise... Lycaon 07:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment This image is well-taken, sharp, and on the whole, very good, but I think that with something like this, the natural environment really would add to the picture. I'm not going to oppose, but I can't bring myself to support either. Adam Cuerden 18:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support This is a pelagic species floating upside down where water meets air. It would be incredibly difficult to photograph in it's natural habitat, and dangerous too as they feed on the Portuguese man of war jelly fish. I've actually come across this very image in a reference book and I was a bit surprised to see it here. I wonder if the the copyright is as it should be. Anyway, a fantastic picture in my opinion. --Jnpet 20:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support very well done, but I miss something for size comparison, maybe something like this even though that's also not exactly it's natural environment. -- Gorgo 04:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose I'd rather see worse quality image, but in their natural habitat. --Mbz1 19:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Neutral Very good image, but on the other hand i agree with Mbz1 --D kuba 11:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
